MYSTIC CALLING By the mist of the mystic moon My soul is drawn to cryptic rune. The voice of Night engulfs the cries Of Hope cast upon darkened skies. Lo, lure of love whispers my name, Where mesmerized, where without shame... I walk a blind man towards the ledge To call her bluff, nay, seal my pledge! A prism glowing by the cloud Of rainbow white donned to a shroud. A veil of light that steals all sight Calls for the sacrifice tonight. Whimsical winds enhance the plea, In chance Romance might dance for me. By every sorrow wrongly wrung About my neck the curse been hung. By swollen boasts left to languish In generic self-sought anguish. Who left there would yet improvise To please the lust upon her eyes. As voiceless words encircle me In call to forespent reverie. Who left there could yet satiate This burning Midnight Magistrate? Dare I dream envision how, By bead of sweat formed to my brow? Can this need be hers, yet be mine? Why does it seem I pine to pine? Breaking every conceptive rule, To walk her line, again the fool; Or spread my wings, flying yet bold To touch that which I ne'er could hold.

*sigh* I know the feeling Michael, wonderfully written. To act the fool for brief pleasure? more difficult a question than expected. |

Michael~ The ancient Germantic Runes displayed in the Third Aett symbolize transition. You are in transition, my friend. This is a good thing.  Fine 'kenning' my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Transition, whilst subconsciously improving yourself or becomin a better man. It is a hard road at times, but at the end the treasures are worth the struggle. Wonderful, mystical piece my friend. Anything mystical is a winner with me!! There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

"In swollen boast left to languish By generic self-sought anguish."-- wow, Michael, I loved those lines. Exellent, anything mystical is a winner with me too! *Krista Knutson* ~*Only when trudging through the soul's darkest midnight can one truly appreciate the glory of the sunrise*~ |

Come walk this line of love with me... All hurt behind us, soon you'll see... Wrap your arms around the bidding forever- To choose this path, all pain is severed... Come walk this line of love with me... Loved the poem babe... Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

There are no words to accurately describe how good this poem is -- All I can say is that I can feel it in the depths of my very soul... Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |
