Crimson fog fakes an orgasm with the black skyline in the distance.
The lurching spasms progress into pillow talk.
An acid bath greets the populace coming home that evening.
Egos spin between with winged serpents flying overhead,
swimming in ragged rivulets of flame that inter-spear the fog.
With staccato thrums of soot and heat; stretching Hephastus -
soon to smelt Mjollnir.
Odin’s side desire for mortal immortality,
The essence dance with She,
He partakes,
A Son is given light.
Hung by his spear
To the world tree he bleeds,
poetry and wisdom,
through nine days instead.
He learned of the runes
and the songs that would lead,
Humankind’s imagination,
To skies un-tethered, sans reality
To realms of nine
seen by the blind
and cyclopean eyes.
Unto us the rage is born,
protector of the weak and innocent.
Given to He is strength unbound,
made twice and again by Megingjard.
Hand to hammer wed,
duty unto death,
The hero’s path.
Walk alight,
the lightning ride,
on goats astride -
steel chariot.
As the Jormungand coils the worlds unto itself head to tail,
tail to head an infinite loop, doubled,
It wakes for Ragnarok.
For what is infinity doubled
but doubt redoubled unto itself?
Swift to strike –
a poison bite.
Quicker still -
the judgment steel.
Mercurial herald of forgiveness.
Hammer judges doubt time and again,
A mangled mess remains,
With bloodied maw,
And dreams of malice -
from Midgard Serpent,
holding the chalice,
It strikes again, to poison him.
Valhalla barren,
The Son returns.
On the final day of imagination,
no longer time,
run out of mind.
Have we soon to forget existence,
was ever tied to earth and stone?
- far we have flown;
to become these old yellowed bones -
Waiting.
Ezequiel and She take notice one day, as the earth spins.
Ragnorok’s knell and din,
now spread thin,
a memory;
forgotten, save by the bones now littering the valley.
Where solace they’ll have none,
Prophet of She, now comes
to see what he needs shown,
to grow what now needs sown.
Belief, Faith and Trust -
know that I Am and hear me roar.
Lion of Zion, Serpent overthrown,
coiled reptilian wreaths
Fall free and be trod underfoot by me,
the new creation – Gestates
and Creates!
By flesh to bone now jaded,
Souls called back in native tongue,
Sinew of ceremony binds,
to bone and muscle wed,
and life pronounced to live as one -
sure to see the rising sun.
Witness the union that none will ever
tear asunder.
Prophet of He speak to the wind that it may listen -
to calls he bade
be made
to the four corners –
and breathe Life into shells of flesh,
again to rise and remember.
Fortune smiled,
and hope recovered in a box,
Fury gone;
Life’s protector missing.
Strength abounds from hammer still,
Belt to wait, The seeker’s thrill
of home and harmony.
Will one soon come to lift Mjollnir?

Consider your blog bookmarked for less busy (and tired) times...I've got to get back into poetry myself, really...

I had fun, and really enjoyed just putting it down. It is a departure from my usual subjects; perhaps indulgent, but enjoyed. I welcome critic of all kinds. I understand it is a bit raw, so if you feel inclined to help or flame lol, it is appreciated.

Four corners huh? Should prove to be interesting. For whatever reason, I hear of people meeting there when "it" hits.... time will tell, I guess.
Owl_Says_Who *hugz* thank you for your words and thoughts always.

Nice poem
Luis! thank you for droping by, I am happy you like it :) It is more a story than a poem. I was trying to meld the mythic with some of the more accepted american stories in the bible, like the valley of bones as another 'genesis' and making them more transparent because of that melding.

Kudos from a fan of Norse mythology!
"Fortune smiled,

Loving it.......

and peace,
even if it's out if style
the good things about Mjollnir are: it never misses its mark, it never goes so far as not to
come back, and...it can be made so small as to fit in yr pocket...
full of genius...i usually approach a dense magnificent poem like this by pulling out the lines that resonate immediately in my soul, like:
"prophet of she now comes to see what he needs shown/to grow what now needs sown." but wait!....
then we have "prophet of he...speak to the wind...breathe life into shells of flesh/
again to rise 7 remember..."
i collect out the gems & then fill in the spaces...and then yr vision is mine &
i guess ive swallowed you!
great raw rant...the old mythology lives
underground...titanic energies rolling beneath the surface...to rise on the final day of imagination...
when we simply cease to behold the endless futile spinning of
these egos...

Kathy Knechtges – thank you!
Newton! Thank you Logos, your words are appreciated.
Marytkelly – That is a spot on interpretation of the protector I was going for, so many children out there without fathers/protectors both here and abroad. Too many leave the hammer on the floor.
Trig! Thanks man :)
Aphrabehn – Thank you so much.
Arthur! – Yes, your comments sparkle much, Thank you.
Will someone Feed The Cat – thank you for stopping by and your kind words.
Mythos! – Deep thoughts always, James – I appreciate your kind words and interpretations as they always make the poem deeper to me.
Robin! Thank you for dropping by *hugz*
As always, you all’s comments push me and I have found in OS the desire to keep pushing at this boulder and see if this time I can make it over the top…

Gracielou! Thank you – I went a little darker on this, I think it was more of a poetry rant of sorts. I appreciate you stopping by.
