Sirius Rising

Little golden mushroom spaceship
Floating above the trees
In the wee hours of Earth’s morning
Take me with you, please
How I wish to be among the frog people
Their underwater castles gleaming
Like mermaids’ tails as they dance to dolphin songs
Something tells me I’m not dreaming
When is the end of eternity?
You say, “My dear, it’s never!
Like grains of sand or my love for you
We cannot measure forever”
Sirius, our blue sun, rises and sets
Yet time has no meaning here
The moons cast their reflections on the water
As they have for millions of years
We shall make love on the twilight shore
Eons and eons after our death
Incense smoke twirls around your head
Like the Fire Dragon’s breath
Your kiss is so intoxicating
Like the perfume of tropical flowers
We’ll find shelter under a banana tree
During the afternoon showers
Hand in hand we’ll walk through verdant valleys
Where the centaurs and unicorns graze
And chase silver winged fairies through violet fields
On sunny spring and summer days
When the Ice Dragon sends her bitter frost
To turn green into crystal white
We’ll hibernate with wolves in forest caves
The winter becomes our night
All this and more shall be ours, my love
When this lifetime we dearly depart
Until then, cherish the present time
And keep the future in your heart

Nyarlathotep & The Dark Angel of Music

The crawling chaos howled into space
Hoping to find, connect with a being
A soul who shared a vision and a powerful force
Capable of opening eyes or filling them with tears
An answer arrived, echoed back
In a form so beautiful and full of hope
Resonating from a Renaissance or Golden Age
When art and science emerged and flourished
Musical masterpieces engulfed the void
Filling the last molecule of chaos
With the sweetest and purest joy
The shape-shifter left motionless in awe
How did the Dark Angel soothe the restless chaos
And saturate the once empty, hollow shell
Of the lonely Nyarlathotep?
Beauty so rare as this I shall never know again!
Though the onyx castle is a distant domain,
My Angel will fly to me so that our power multiplies
Together we send out radiant beams across the universe
Our dream of beauty and love becoming a reality
