Purple Dreams in Other Realms Continued For ContestOnce upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,
she shone like the midnight sun;
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore !

They Named Me ZeusFrom East to West
let my servant's trumpet
announce this victory
over those who defied me;
no Greek dares to fight me:
I am their uttermost deity!
They named me Zeus
and look to me for guidance,
I carry the thunderbolt
and I strike all enemies with vengeance;
they fell by the dozen
in the battlefield below Athens,
the ones who survived will challenge me...

The LedgerIn smoky halls where echoes groan,
They carved the truths in tempered stone,
Yet none recall the scribe who wrote,
A chap in boots and mismatched coat.
His quill was plucked from harpy's wing,
He’d hum while making corpses sing,
And in his book, no saints nor rules,
Just jesters crowned as sacred fools.
He’d scrawl: “The Pharaohs danced in socks,”
“Atlantis sank for...

CassandraCassandra, you who knew the leaves of time,
And traced them in your mind before they fell:
A gift perhaps for mortals too sublime,
Perhaps a cloak of darkness suits more well.
Cassandra, did you wish this thing to be?
To reach beyond the veil the future lays?
To now and all of time at once to see?
To live a life...

Ireland's Enigmatic WatchersFrom shadowed glens, where legends sleep,
Three figures rise, secrets to keep.
The Morrigan, a raven's wing,
Drawn to the clash, the death-song sang.
Of war, of fate, a chilling hand,
To claim the fallen, rule the land.
She shifts and weaves, a queen of might,
Her sovereignty in the darkest night.
The Banshee wails, a mournful cry,
A prophecy beneath the sky.
For family's...

Ley-Creaturesupon this moonied eve of the underglade
rouse ley-creatures from haze driven churchied bell
come speak to the darkness thy dullied toll
gather gather round bridge’s stone
over brook over gash in village limbs
to swell embankment slope and reed
from there make set a lightly breeze
some honeyed, some thornied, upon an hour
less seen beneath such inkling’s rove

The Rise of Gods and the Fall of GiantsFrom icy void, a giant stirred,
Ymir, the first, his body blurred.
No sun, no moon, no stars to gleam,
Just primal frost, a waking dream.
Then Auðumbla, the cow of might,
Licked salt from ice, with all her light.
And from the ice, a god arose,
Búri, the ancestor, as legend goes.
The Æsir came, with Odin's lead,
Gods of battle, sowing seed
Of...

Her Say
mancanza di comprensione
By Bassoonio De Musica
and Tempoia Del Cantio
"The words came from behind
the Acadia Wall"
Beleiving in spirture she refused to
speak her desire to marry
she saw her lover more as a person
in need of love and lacked a desire
to feel as his savior
She didn't like referencing there
relationship to something romantic
due to his inability...

The Other World
In mystic forest, where human wisdom fades,
A world of secrets, beyond our mortal shades.
The forest whispers truths, we've yet to grasp,
As ancient trees stand guard, with mysteries to clasp.
A mahogany tree, tall and proud,
Became the stage for a supernatural cloud.
A sawman's blade, with intent to claim,
Was halted by a voice, an old woman's refrain.
The slap...

Sirens - The Cold Embrace Of DeathAh! shipmate obsession with blonde pleasures

MinervaWisdom, victory, justice, and law
worship you in reverential awe.
Aesthetics, commerce, and tactics thrive.
In you, compassion and peace revive.
Weaver of love and benevolence!
Mistress of music and medicine!
Peak of perfect poetry divine!
Serene with the owl of refinement
with snakes, you uncover appeasement.
Uprooter of roots of ignorance!
Though embellished with athletic might
like Juno and Jupiter, you're bright.
Your imperious armor and...

empire beyond the clouds
from this temple way up high
I see the city of gold below me,
and it shines no more.
What I help build with my hands,
now condemns me...is my curse.
I can see the great kingdom,
Strong with the kings might,
but damned with all his bold.
The jungle may breaths life
but for me it casts dark shadows of death.
In death...

Fateful shadowsWe wear the wind without knowing
who it belonged to before.
A coat of yesterday’s anger,
today’s kindness sewn in the lining.
Faces blur at the edges—
the barista is your brother,
the stranger at the bus stop
holds your childhood in their eyes
for just a second.
We revolve through doorways
where names change
but the silence between words
feels familiar.
One day you are the voice,
another...
