The witness: possession, fate, horrorIn the ancient days, from the mists of time came a man, known as a watcher and guardian of sorts, a traveler, who covered vast distances going here and there. One evening, after a day of travelling he lay down to rest, and immediately fell into a deep trance.
In his trance a woman appeared to him, a woman who was wonderfully pleasing for her looks and demeanor. As he watched she glowed, like the sun, appearing as a winged angel, blazing with white light, and through the aura of light that surrounded her he could see she was gazing directly at him, with the loveliest of smiles. When she spoke to him it was with words that seemed laced with the sweetness of the sweetest honey, coming to him seemingly on the wind, speaking directly into his mind, and mingling with his own thoughts so that he felt as if one with her.
As the man watched this vision, transfixed, the white glow around her began to change, and slivers of black started
Angelus redemptio, the turning...Across dark realms that seek the night
Ever before dawn's first fingers light
On wings pitch black, a princess here
Comes, to reap a soul, bringing fear

She's found the one to give her power
Here the wraith, now, this hour
To seek him out was her vow
Her shadow falling quickly now

Gentle caress, until he, in trance
Dreams the dreams that speak mischance
Agony, bliss, such driven love
Sweet moment this, enchantment above

Until his self, ripped and riven
From the body, is finally driven
Bringing sleep, to crave for peace
As broken, failing, he must decease

Now a shell, a ruin, and lying
This moment, this time, simply dying

Perhaps "nature's most spectacular phenomenon": a total solar eclipse http://www.bom.gov.au/social/2012/11/cairns-total-solar-eclipse-2012/ was at 6:39am AEST tomorrow (gmt+10), Wednesday, November 14, 2012 (Queensland, Australia time).

Sweet dream pathwaysNow she sleeps, a sweet repose
Blue black hair fans about
And as silence calls her name
Her lovely unturned face, now secret smiles

As dreaming dreams of things unsaid
Wonderful images begin to flow
That are ever longing and which lead
To the wishing of wishes, but instead

Her soul slips free, rising, rising
Ever higher, riding the dreaming pathways
Heavenly bent and full of intent
Harmonics singing in her head

Until a moment that she touches
The soul of another, a lonely seeker
Meeting as a tender embrace
Where the eternal question is put,

"Be mine?"
An Australian song for a tragic timeTRAGEDY
Across the Great Southern Land the seasons change 

The spring now past, the long summer comes

Hot and hotter, temperature now thirties, forties

Forest and grasslands drying fast, fuel to burn
 
While to this tinderbox land, tragedy comes searching 

For something new, new vistas perhaps,

Yet to incite the anguish its presence brings

Exaggerated sorrows, and grief to many
 
So crouching now, this fearsome thing

Gazes round, until dramatic change, 

Ever hotter, a fierce sun acknowledging now,

And so the land burns as the great fires return
 
Raging, roaring, respecting nothing, none

Flames lick high, higher, smoke, and cinders fly
Changing weather, threatening, fearsome

Burning the land, consuming, threatening all


 
BITTER
 
Nothing stops it, incensed, turbulent, hot as hell

As tragedy stands, dark and bitter, ashen faced 

Torn and blackened,
Dark Valentine, Where Love Lay, DyingAs you look down the street you see a man coming toward you. He catches your attention because he is a little taller than most, and looks purposeful. It is late afternoon, the sun is shining, a very pleasant afternoon. He obviously has things to do, and places to go. If you were to know him you would know that recently he had meet a woman on the Internet, a gorgeous woman who now filled his thoughts. So, he was happy, on top of the world, things were going well for him. Suddenly he frowned, as if a shadow had passed across his mind.

Something, was wrong. He looked down at his hand, his left hand. There was a drop of blood at the end of a fin

Divine JusticeXystus stood on the edge of the plain, overlooking the apocalyptic scene before him, the littered debris and detritus of a spontaneous, furious war and conflagration that had flared briefly just moments before. It had been so brief that if he had not been there on time he would have missed it, and that was the last thing on earth he wanted to happen. Curiously though there was an almost supernatural peace and calm that seemed to prevail. There was also a sweet smell of incense carried on the gentle breeze that stirred his hair, which was strange indeed, sickening too! So Xystus, having seen similar wars on these killing fields before, and hav
Love, life's blood red wine...In the night mist thoughts came seeking
Through the corridors of my mind,
For dreaming dreams of my beloved
Ecstasy and wondrous bliss divined
Insistent now, the fervent heart demand
To be transported, be with her there,
With golden moonlight chasing shadows
Sweet repose, my beauty sleeping fair
Raven hair aglimmer as heavens stars afar
To number them all, pleasure so sublime,
That time is abandoned to adoration
Until she stirs, and memory made divine
She holds me fast in fond embrace
Whispering sweet nothings, now aglow,
And with my heart beating ever faster
Life's blood red wine does quickly flow
So we share the spirit of life together
Until pausing, her scarlet lips ashine,
To bring the rain of a thousand kisses
This most enthralling woman of mine
Then it is at last, two souls so replete,
Like roses in the darkness, love complete!

Two to three people seem to be able to get the screenshot of a kiriban, yes, but I award one winner, with a rare exception & I may also offer consolation points if a second person did get the screenshot! That answer it?
