Inspired By Flame Of Awen

With my bones of glass forged by flower light,
and serpentine tongue of weird prophecies,
Taliesin whispers to cracked tortoise shell,
I should remain invisible from Fame
whose blessing is the curse of vampire lust
that drains bright Awen from my aching heart.

Though clutching harp of whale bone to his breast
with wordless passion of the sky-fierce crow,
Taliesin stands on cliff of mocking wind
and sings in harmony with ocean waves
so strings from hearts of dragons ring clear thoughts
that spark our craving to understand why.

Mouth open round as cave of flashing wind
expressed by Zephyrus in curls of verse,
Taliesin channels craving of the heart
in spell that formulates obsessive want
which drives all conscious beings of chemicals
with brave propellant of our mutual love.

Composed of quick atomic chemicals
that program progress of productive rites,
Taliesin bonds integral drive of hope
through vision of our bodies as star gods
consuming fruit and meat of voiceless souls
to fuel expansion of our fragile minds.

Like Adam aches to eat apple of Eve,
and Phoebus chases Daphne in fruit grove,
and Romeo clutches Juliet to his chest,
and Orpheus turns with frantic respect
to bring Eurydice back to warm life,
Taliesin searches our dreams for Modron.

Heart pulsing with slow swirl of galaxies
when his fingers strum taut strings of our hearts,
Taliesin sings while bearing harp of bone,
time molds our temporary spirit flames
from mindless slime of surging ocean waves
to wingless angels emanating light.

With skulls of Orpheus, Hamlet, and Jesus
singing prophecies on museum shelf,
Taliesin translates song of ocean waves
to story of curious humanity
constructing global empire of glass towers
from Flame of Awen in the human heart.

Inspired by Flame of Awen in his heart,
that flares forth from first flash of the big bang,
Taliesin sits on Stone of Prophecy
on Mount Takoma by Star Mirror Lake
and writes our dreams in serpent runes of faith
which beams new visions in our hungry hearts.

Orpheus and Taliesin visit Pope Leo in the Vatican where he shows them scrolls of prophecies composed by the mad wizard of Oregon with blood of angels.
