Singing Doors Of Nevermore

Within cold shadow of eternity
my brain glows with dreams of warm energy
that wakes my heart with the sharp ache of truth
so I explore dream-invisible path
back home to singing doors of Nevermore
where I make books of long-forgotten lore.

Wise serpent of Meroveus inspires
my wretched soul to climb cathedral spires
where I spread wings of Icarus and fly
to Wonderland where I can play the spy
who slips through singing doors of Nevermore
with eager passion to complete my chore.

Assertive wolf of Charlemagne attends
my secret mission to explore strange lands
where my father once chased the rainbow ghost
who wants to crown me Son of Zeus the Host
so I guard singing doors of Nevermore
with royal robe of Ermine Louis wore.

Brave lion of Richard strides at my side
when I discover where wild fairies hide
who shelter me in lush Broceliande
when I hide from bloody assassin hand,
safe behind singing doors of Nevermore
where I gain Apollo as life mentor.

Swift horse of Henry portends motor cars
so I develop eyes of flaming stars
that help me analyze essential waves
building empires from blind prophets in caves
who open singing doors of Nevermore
that shimmer with dreams on the timeless shore.

Moon crow of Arthur haunts garden of fruit
where Melusine plays the dragon-bone flute
enchanting eyes of Cetus with sad tune
who wants to grant each person their boon
hidden by singing doors of Nevermore
when grape vines spiral from psychotic spore.

Weird secret code that Merlin diagrams
revives cult of Serapis herding rams,
so I invent religion of Ishtar
while driving to work each dawn in my car,
which opens singing doors of Nevermore
to temple of truth inside the bookstore.

I take mask from the ancient gallery
that matches Jester Bard of Fillory
to work as Custodian of the Wellspring
from which springs spirit of my magic ring
which unlocks singing doors of Nevermore
so I rule Earth as honest Manticore.

Orpheus carves intricate scenes from lives of philosophers in panels on singing doors of Nevermore which recount the life and reign of First Mother Ishtar.
