mercury square neptune ~

submerged, in a sea of sorrow
mercurial phantoms, and I play…

{{ my temporary sentinels of solace }}…

guard me from Stygian demons,
of decaying breath, speaks in tongues;
[of its] desire to tear and swallow soul, whole.

distress rolls in, out like obsidian waves;
finding my anguished heart as its shore…

//hide and seek with my mind.//

kaleidoscope glimpses of lucid dreams…
bathe me in luminous hope

crystal fish tickle my feet…
while…

wishes remain muted in Poseidon’s
amethyst lair;
inside his oceanic depths.
