~ TALES FROM THE EVER-WAR ~

{Chapter Two: I Dreamt Of The Beast}

~ TALES FROM THE EVER-WAR ~

From ashes of night, blanketing me
A glint, a glimpse, of despotism
I am so shaken by what I have seen
I dare not try, interpret the vision....

The fall of the church appears in the dream
The rise of the bloody, somehow comforting
This confusion inherent, in vague imagery
Curdles inside me, prevents me from screaming

With the voice of a lamb, and strength of a dragon
Somehow blind faith, has led us to slaughter
Where tainted love, is being poured from a flagon
And somehow drowned us all, in unholy waters

Drunken and laying broken, out in the streets
All of our friends, have found Gnosticism
Blood on their faces tainting their beliefs
Seems a Dali version, of dark surrealism

I struggle, I sweat, I swing my broadsword
Cutting down evil as I head for the screams
I sense a ray of hope, that I'm fighting toward
When, with a burst of light, I awake from the dream
And there, emblazoned on my hand,
Bleeds, The Mark Of The Beast
Seems I had dreamt
The unholiest of dreams....

Being Me

I dont know much about the bible, I'm afraid. ('Tis true). I have heard of Cain and Moses and the10  commandments etc, from the old testament ...and I know that Jesus really existed and did a few miracles...but beyond that.... ? ?‍♀️   So from that perspective I haven't got a clue what is going on and so I can't comment on that. I do know, though, that I really like what you are doing here. As I said on chapter one,  wars and and Angel's and demons... what's not to like? Nothing. It makes for great reading.  And in this chapter we have visions and the church falling...What can I say? Well,  if this was a film it would be a blockbuster. Great work, Tony. I look forward to chapter 3....you are spoiling us!!

I'm so happy to see you following this series you lovely BEING!!….Fear NOT, for most of this is not founded in the Biblical histories or references...but.....in the complete (as far as we know) histories of humankind.....before and after the Bible was created....there were many books before the Bible that had the same or VERY similar stories and events....so trust your instincts.....because that's all that's TRULY needed when dealing with Good & Evil on ANY level!!…..thanx so much for the kind words and glowing interest my friend.....I VERY much appreciate it!!…..You're the coolest!!…..shine on girlfriend!!…..Love & Rockets!!….T xo  : )

Sir Tony!
What a graphic picture you've painted here..
I am left in awe.. Talking about end times! ..
A sobering thought to those who believe..
And an awaken to the sleepers... who in spiritual darkness sleeps.

Riveting Tony, really gripping and nothing more powerful than the incessant battle between good and evil.  Fascinating stuff my dear friend.

Thanx SIMON!!…...that you would call it riveting is saying something more than I expected...….I am but a poor, helpless poet, struggling through the gutters of life!!…..I fight to find the truth......and stumble through good fortunes blessings when attempting to find the words!! …….Big Smiles!!…….T xo  : )
