The Gates

Light the candle
kiss the seal
Close your eyes
and see whats real

Unsheath HER blade
Call out the names
Hum the tune, Chant the praise

Pull down the moon
And howl his call
Demons awake
and Angels Fall



Feel your heart beat
Through your chest
The Ancient words
Rumble your breast

Feel the Earth's Quake
As Evil Seeps
Feel the secrets
Of the deep

HE awaits you
at the gate
Flights of demons
Unveil your fate
You Beseech HIM
With the Word
Begin Your Journey
Beyond this Earth.

Author's Note

Inspired by Aliester Crowley and My own rituals. A personal piece, the all caps has signifigance, I know it seems weird.

a very interesting poetry here.

[Geralyn Miller]

Not weird at all, if you know the old ways. Nice work, just enough info to suggest the thought, not enough to get some stoned half wit in trouble; a fine line and you walk it well.

[Miss Coral]

It seems like this is more a personal piece- I don't like it as much as your usual work. Nice word choice and rhyme scheme though.

I'm a sucker for rhymes. I believe it takes a great deal of talent to rhyme with a mature them and structure. Reminds me of music. And this one is a haunting child-like tune that drips down the page with a euphoric flow. Bravo, my dear.

I love the flow, the eerie feel, the choice of words...Great piece

[Lovely Lady]

You go girl... Alister Crowley kicks it! Keep studying and growing you are blossoming!
Beautiful.

I'm reminded of the song "Shout At the Devil" when reading this. Under the surface this reads to me as someone who stands up to all who try and hold them back.

[Michael X]

wow, what an amazing experience in words, this draws deeply upon
a readers curiosity and what each symbolizaton means as to
its magical effects on the universe in the belief that such rituals
can shift or alter reality, awsome descriptiveness combined
with a rhyme scheme that really brings your words to life,
brilliantly done, and so subtle, a whispered beautiful tone.

[Poetic Shambles]

Lovely flow. I personally am a fan of poems such as this - short, succinct and above all else fun to read. I do not review many poems these days but this one was worth my time.

[Jonathan De Elvira]

Sounds like surrendering one soul to the devil...
