Iram of the Pillars

Iram of the Pillars, the desert sand Atlantis

• Iram of the Pillars by Richard Guimond ©2015 

  Flying thru haze of memories and unformed dream I spread my wings over extent of chaotic desert Travelling thru time and imagination forbidden desert From now to then I travelled to lands of legends and myths Over primal dunes of Time of gaseous consistence Out of nowhere the beating of drums echoed thru colored Foggy atmosphere, the abode of Iram of the Pillars Mighty Urum, of the House of the mighty Aads Forbidden house of the Ages, antique city of the Djinns Great cave temple underground forgotten fortress Witness of the great angelic war, the fall of Dark Sheitan Disincarnated voices, fantomatic spectral choir Reverberated from secret underground chambers Exotic ghostly dancer undulating hips, beating tambourines Desert sirens seducing mirage to the lost doomed traveller

an ecstasy of creation Richard, work of sheer imagination, a spectacular poem, I must find music that works my mind in such a way, its exotic to say the least :)

Just superb, dear friend, superb! I daresay, I seem to recall an most interesting circumstance wherein I had been visiting my dear friend the Abbot at his monastery in service to the Church of England. During a loud and lengthy prayer session, I reached such a state of euphoria that my body underwent prophetic sublimation and I was reduced my more devious atomic particles. It was most interesting as I could submerge particles in ether and dry sherry whilst my other particles could conduct deviant behaviour in the folds of the maidservants' gowns! Bully!
