come live inside my fettered dream
and hear the ancient voices sing
the cloven tongues of fire
do sit upon the blended choir
sounds of rushing mighty winds
the elder prophets now do send
the red orange orb embarked
turns now the day to darkest dark
and moonbeams bleed in random flight
their crimson silence in the night
on earth below the gods invoked
spew forth the blood the fire and smoke
and in these days of blackest nights
and nights beset with radiant light
the children speak in words unknown
and with their visions all is shown
the day of knowledge fully come
the signs from heaven now are done
come sit beside the raging streams
and see the wonders of the ring
come live inside my fettered dream

Wow. This poem is wonderful!
You constantly surprise and delight, Gypsy.
fabulous...kind of spooky...
much love
your words do mean so much - thank you trish! i am glad you like!
thanks, stacey - it took a turn somewhere right after the second line and became something else - which is not unusual since i don't always have a fixed anything in my mind - this is one of those - the words just took on a life of their own and led me where they wanted to go! thanks so much for coming over!!
what you are doing to emil's work is just not right but that aside---kidding of course ;)
these words really spoke to me today...lovely lovely and very sobering too, love that twisting turning ...
xoxoxo
glad you like, linda - yes, i was kind of surprised at how it came out too - sobering - because i hadn't intended that - it just happened as the words grew - wonderful to see you over here, lady! have a glorious day!
Awesome,Gypsy, jut awesome. Thanks for sharing your inspirational words. Blessings!
The painting is what caught my attention! Simply amazing! So many colours yet the essence remains intact! Marvellous!
Although the poem starts on a note of impending doom, it changes course and becomes hopeful again!
Lovely!
Love

marion - so glad you enjoyed - thanks for coming by, lady! have a glorious day!
and hello there, lady deboshree!! wonderful to have you come over and leave such an inspiring note! thank you! yes, i do love the image, too - it's an emile nolde whom i've recently re-discovered! [as this blog shows ;) ] his work is brilliant and vibrant and just speaks/screams out to me! i'm hoping my readers won't become bored with all his images but how could anyone? ;) thanks again and have a fabulous day!
This is simply awesome, Jenean. The rhythm... the rhyme... every word was beautiful and perfectly placed. And the image is such a complementary piece. Just fabulous!

thank you SO much, nevine! you know, sometimes things - words - thoughts - just come together by themselves - i was simply the instrument of the words here - the first two lines i'd had for a while and thought they were headed toward a love poem - but, as you can see, that is not the direction the words took us! ;)
Thank you for visiting and how amazing you and Grace.x.
yes, gg, i'm really excited about exploring the connection in detail - thanks so much for coming by!
J-seems like a perfect blend of happenings and it moves at just the right pace for the invite. Love the last line for an ending. ~rick
oh, hi rick! thank you so much for the kind words! hope the hiways and byways are treating you well - and that you travel on sunny days!
Beautiful.
To me dreams are everything.;)
I missed some lovely poems, but I am back now.
Have a lovely first spring day,
xoxo

oh, zuzana, wonderful to see you again - your absence certainly was missed!! see you over at your place - and thanks so much for dropping by!!!
Oh, Jenean...this has such a wonderful, lyrical quality...and exudes such mystery!! And I feel I have witnessed the work of oracles...something from ancient times! Extraordinary! ~Janine XO
so glad you like, dear janine! it just sort of came out of nowhere - i began the first few words in one direction but then the words themselves took themselves and me toward another destination - funny how words can take on a life of their own - i know you know of what i speak - thanks so much for coming by! love having you over!
Lovely poem Jenean.
Your words flow like a mountain stream.
oh, thank you so much, trevor! thank you! i have to say that i do like this one, too! something about it -
