Heavenly Counsel
Above the flight of Pegasean wing,
In quintessential realms of majesty,
Great God in Heaven, Jehova the King,
Sate stupor’d in a state of apathy;
The pinnacle
Of his life’s creation
Has steer’d himself tward Hell’s chasm of damnation.
Unto beauteous paradise
Flew George, Denys & Michael,
Before the gates of Heaven rise
Twelve Saints & Peter’s angel,
Who grants passage, led thro’ the wise
By golden Gabriel
To Jove, slumbering by the holy hearth,
“My Lord,” chaunts Michael, “We return from Earth…
There are dark troubles brewing sire,
Satanus plots a war,
With daemon dire & dragonfire,
The Aesir to the fore,
Lord let us fight!” Jove ponders, “If ye must but just ye four!”
Divinnia
Death of Venus
‘Loki’ steer’d his steed in ful freedom flight
Over Europa’s forest thick ranges,
Landed upon the mountain of delight,
Lone grey, loon priest ranting of its dangers;
His limbs muscle
Their way thro that dark cave,
Down the long, moist tunnel on marmoreal wave.
To view a phantasie palace
Midst the vale of cupid’s art,
Where the temptress of loveliness
Held legs slenderly apart,
O! the vision of her cestus,
Temple’s resplendent heart‐
What man could fight th’allurement of her charms
What god could fight her soft, “Come to my arms!”
Plunged was a poison‐tipp’d dagger
Thro Venus’ heaving breast,
By grey river the murderer
Lay her fair corpse arest
Hair willowing thro water, one breaks free from all the rest…
