Morning arrived There was Something odd Something strange Something…. Different he was now Aware of Nothing around him Had changed? But what was this? He traced with the tip Of his forefinger upon his lips Something foreign Something new Curious? A smile!
Time it’s movent The ebb and flow of Mystic Mystical realities Circle and flow Over and Under Recycling motion
Kindred spiritual nuance Your name Your essence Your magickal wonder Shards of reflection Pierce the cobalt veil Of this consciousness and dispensation at hand
For I am humbled I am honoured To again be in the presence Of such a guilded warrior
Do you remember Charting the stars Laughing together Beneath forgotten constellations
Time respectfully freezes In moments like these A breath of communion For an instant that Lasts for ever … and ever more
Emerald pools glean deep with Hints of golden rays Mirroring the beauty Deep within your eyes The majesty of royal desire
The goddess of fertility of Love Battle and Death And you are even More
Nothing less than evocation An answer to a lost blessing It is you That holds the keys to the Divinity that has always been Rightfully yours
And who am I But the shadow Conjuring the fairest deity muse of creation A harbinger of spring painting the eternal sky Brilliant neon made from dreams that slips away into the coming night
Freya of the throne bares the crown and throws the bones Ancient spirits whispering Secrets of the bloodstone
Courtyard festivals Megalithic rituals Virgin maidens sing songs As offerings to their Queen
Distant echoes haunting Crimson through the night We are one We are strong We are eternal Brilliant Beautiful We feed upon the youth We belong here The true bloodlines prevail
In the wake of awareness Pulsing rapture feeds We dance before the coming sun In defiance we slip away Under ground we thrive As they continue on In their earthy delights
She stands in a house of open glory, with floral visceral extending gratitude, sentient beauty, grace of awareness… around a virtual gathering embracing all that transpires in waking spiritual magicKal knowledge.
Here… then… forever more, a family of creation reaches a distant mount of New holiness without repression or descension, but rather in a true celebration of life and the ALL.
Life is breathed experienced worn as a crown a halo of chakra enlightenment blessed with the pureness of intentional manifestation
We Are children cloaked in innocence beneath the shadow of our lunar goddess
And Beneath this blanket I hold you tight that you might not slip away and the dream be spoiled for together we are tethered to the mutual understanding of whimsical folly and grace

What happens when sociey leaves you better off for dead. Neglected and abused by a broken system kids lash out and reclaim there voices. Orphans and unwanted children forced to fend for themselves in a world that they don’t have names or faces. This travesty has gone on for centuries and continues to this very day. This is a song for those without a voice, repressed without expression. In 1969, such an incident happened, acting out in the name of anything horrendous actions imploded upon a society not willing to hear the cries if the youth. These are the voices for all the lost souls, these are the voices of The Throwaway Kids. 93
Throwaway Kids- (lyrics)
Where do we go Alone without salvation Calling out the guards and dogs We’re both sinners and saints Pushed around kicked aside Like junkies and whores Broken glass and concrete shoes Welcome to the world we live in Faceless souls in the gutter Disappear into the night Tragedy and murder songs It’s a Helter Skelter sign All the pigs and the princesses All the blood on the wall A Black Bird Sings in the Dead of Night
Here we are we’re the Throwaway Kids Here we are we’re the Throwaway Kids Here we are we’re the Throwaway Kids Here we are we’re the Throwaway Kids
Haunted shadows leer Languidly waiting for a Stolen moment
Hanging with Baited breath from lintol Beams suspending Heirs of valiant foliage of Hellenistic proportions
Gardens curtain doorways
Humid breath wafting from Beyond the entrance
Specters Shadows Djinn Ascend walls Crossing ceilings Zigzagging To and fro Back and forth High and low
Succubus whispers Call to you Calling with the desire and Intent of death and desire Circe’s smile
The reaper thwarted again Now in the twenty first century The New phase of goth and Horror Abhorring where the Ambiguous followers of Hekate Lilith Kali Inanna Isis Slowly rebrand The epochal treacheries Of the New Age
Blasphemous meanings of the distorted variants of Christ teachings
Unborn Children rise again Not of their own will but Accompanied with minstrels and bards to covet a home that is greater than this life
Nirvana Utopia ShangriLa of happiness and Freedom
Escape from this tragedy Calamity rather than face Exile upon the sandy floors of Sheol
Here In our current plane Of Existence Our Dispensation of the Now This is Our glory Protection of the Gnostic Monad
The goddesses gather uniting power Strength Intent Magick Aeons old To flush away The ignorance Of centuries of Progress
This will not do
Not by Any radical Idiocracy of intellectually void meat suits
Zombified Pacified Multiplied Sterilized Self righteous demons Of their own design
For WE Are Legion For We Are Many
And the triumph Of the ALL Will will Herald The New Way For the Now For the Tomorrow’s For many Yugas To Come 🌙
They Omitted my name Tried to strip we of My power My Influence My Touch of chaos
Fear expressed as Silence by the King of Babylon himself Wearing the shroud of Paraskevidekatriaphobia Akkadian diorite stele Carved in Ebony Unearthed and Forever Depicting in the oldest Laws The eternal Sun God Shamash Dictates the rules for Man
I am the unwanted Thirteenth guest with a kiss from Judas Loki’s mischievous grin As the world turns dark
It was Eve that gave the forbidden fruit to ADAM and it was Cain that spilled the blood of Abel In my name
The Army of The Church The Knights of the Lord The Templars hunted deceived French King turns on loyalty Capturing Torturing Spilling Blood of The New Saints that took The mission of their Christ
Gioachino Rossini master composer Man of fear devoured by cancer fell at my hands took his final breath upon my name
The bombing of Buckingham Palace the result of my Grace
I watched Kitty Genovese’ light fade from her eyes
The rain of lead poured Down Upon New Caesar’s Rome Blood filled the streets Tupac’s voice … silenced
Psycho Birds take 39 steps to The Rear Window Suspicion, Shadow of Doubt Vertigo Vertical Frenzy Spellbound The birth of horror mystery suspense Anointed by my hand
I am eternity I always will Be I come once Twice Three times a year I revolve around the Gregorian Calendar Hopscotch dance Between visitations
But
You can Always count on me The One and the Three As Friday arrives The mask reveals My Name
Electric Sexy Purple Reign Deep knowing Cosmic Awareness Brilliance Radiating from A Violet star Noble Passion Weakens knees Breaking rocks With waves of Lust and Desire Dancing Nobility Chaos circles Leaps and bounds Complete and Total control Over every Muscle And Nuance Through music Royalty Born of the crown Master of motion Melody emotion In the glass reflection Of a television screen I have realized my dream
Here is a piece exclusively from Something Witchy This Way Comes, published by Deadmans Press Ink *available on Amazon, link for the Deluxe 2nd edition is featured below
Circles drawn in the sand close the ceremony, salt in hand
Casting the magick essence of Gaia, stoking the flames of eternal goddess, the delicate voice of ancient wisdom, shines in her eyes…..
Within her ancient soul, lies the calmness of the maiden’s smile. Her motherly disposition embraces the true honesty of nature’s beast. And the crone within, knows all, has seen all, and been privy to the stars’ creation.
Hekate goddess, sisters three, around the fire welcoming, singing, dancing the elemental call, ushering in Astarte’s San Graal. Wine forever, dripping red, the blood of grapes transforming the goddess spirit from the wind, it’s hallowed power deep within.
Nocturnal devises, and runes thrown, interpreting visions deep within the laughing flames. Licking the sky, rising higher, a ritual of pure desire. A fever pitched euphoria climaxes into pure revelry. Circles drawn in the sand close the ceremony, salt in hand…
The beauty of Le Fare, its secrets untold, like the gift of a magi or alchemist’s gold. She knows the wonders of the earth, the universe, beyond this human realm, she pierces the veil of what some may call heaven and some call hell. Wearing a crown of bone, antlers of a deer, whispering beneath her breath words that no one hears. Rituals, dying traditions, languages of forgotten tongues, she is the seamstress of nature’s power within.

“Anyone who has ever thought that magick might be something to dream about can find out the true meaning with the words by Matthew Bowers in his new and exciting book Something Witchy this Way comes. He uses his words like sable tipped paint brushes on a cotton canvas. His delectable dictionary of magick and colorful oil painted poems will make this a most unusual read.” Wendy Morrison
Something Witchy This Way Comes “I believe that we are all magic! I certainly think that may be the very key to this book! It’s not written for those in a secret society, or those that have a province to keep sacred knowledge at arms length of the masses. I think that these that these poems written by Matthew Bowers, resonate to something universal within us all, something centuries old from our past. Something that we inherently can not deny.” Review by Jezbell Anderson
“Something Witchy This Way Comes, Matthew Bowers premier release is in it’s second printing of a Deluxe edition. This magical book of poetry is certainly one of the most ambitious books to hit the shelves in 2021” review by Mary Holt
It was absolutely lovely to hear from you today. It’s quite amazing how receiving a simple parcel can brighten one’s day. Your words have filled the void of your absence. What a wonderful glimpse into the boy that would become the man, the writer! I can’t help but envision the soundtrack to the early years of your life. The Smiths and grey skies, cold beach fronts, soot covered cities as well as finely manicured suburbia for those that had coin to spare! Growing up, our lifestyles couldn’t have been more polar opposite. Me? I never worked, never had any money, nor did the people that I ran with, my motley cluster of friends. We never really had need of it for some reason or other? Everyday was a unplanned event, either adventure or disaster, or time lost in self exiled purgatory while waiting, waiting for something to organically to happen. Going out we lived in the night. We were vampyres among society wreaking havoc upon the silent city. The populous unaware as they slept their lives away. We were pirates of mischief and misfortune. Drunken debauchery, bar fights and club gigs. Rock n Roll was the anthem that we lived and we bled by. We would lick our wounds among other things whilst never learning our lessons… Everything was I guess, insanity. Fueled by a generation that didn’t believe in tomorrows. We subscribed to the cult of the 27 club, never daring to see any future beyond that (and many of us didn’t). Times have changed, and those that are left of us have changed too. I miss your smile and striking hunger in your eyes. You bring me back, to the place from where I started. Young, daring… reckless. I feel the loneliness deep in your eyes. The loneliness that I, was never able to fill.
Within these empty set eyes Conjuring pain never satisfied Reel in the hunger Reel in the lust Drinking whispers from the dust Again and again basking in pain Nevermore lost in refrain Dance over cinders capturing fire The burning within growing desire… ❣️🦇🐈⬛🌛🌝🌜🔥
She came to me Like rolling thunder Underneath valerian sky We opened up a portal to A rabbit hole akashic mind Wormwood splinters Emerald mists My tongue languid I breathe your eyes Reclaim the game Insane refrain Ritual hunters that Bare no blame I smile out loud as the matchstick strikes Sulfur fills the air of night Sugar spoon Waxing Gibbous Moon Rosetta lips I call to you The lunar pull the Ebb and flow Crashing waves upon my brow I fall deep into Amethyst dreams
Among the neon Beneath the lights At the end of a cigarette Simple whiskey I feel the coming The calming The knowing
Too many Kings Following swing Rum diary orgies in The City of Sin
Blasphemous heat waves Scorch the tired earth Where hunters and Gatherers met in Sacred circles Calling Unifying With the Needs of The Land
Centuries old evocations Ceremonial birth rites Performed by the few Remaining ancestors Of the ancient tribe Tudinu
Heal Reclaim Renew Empower Unci Maka
Shaman smoke Echo chantings Circles drawn With feathers and Ash
Fire, crossing Dimensional divination Upon horse back ghosts Wisdom and authority Of desert living Brings more than Comfort To the ostracized And horrifically Abused And massacred In the name Of White man’s Capitalistic religion
Of money, land, and Power That continues to this day
I feel the voices I am reborn I repress memories Memories of Previous lives
I am her Was Her Proud
Slight Brown Too young to Fulfill the daily needs Of my Tribe My Blood
Even then Ancient ancestors That had passed Watched Over me
As I grew As I became A martyr Murdered Bled Raped By The White Men That Never had or have any Regard for Life In Any form Other Than their profits and Self
These are the Beasts
Monsters that serve an UnHoly god…. A god of War A god of Storms That feeds On blood sacrifice And ritualistic slaughter Conversion
The English The Spaniards Does it matter?
Conquerors Conquistadors
This is Our land Our legacy
Now
We are almost extinct Our customs forgotten
Sold With diseased blankets Evil Alcohol Spirits Kept in bottles of glass Yet Another form of Control Shame And Suicide
We were fed lies That all people including US WOULD Achieve the Freedom Wealth and Equality
That this land of opportunity Would Deliver
Here In real time I can’t And don’t want To Escape These memories This Will to reclaim the Vindication of My former self That child That girl That bled at the hands Of Grotesque Liars Men of Urges Men of No Remorse Or Guilt
Filled With Hatred Fear and Prejudice That still Breeds To this Day
Among the neon Beneath the lights At the end of a cigarette Simple whiskey I feel the coming The calming The knowing
The circle Will be completed We Will inherit our birth rites Our land Will be Our own We will have our Dignity returned And the wind Carries the future The White Buffalo Will appear
Childhood lost in an instant of unforseen danger. It wasn’t quite ten o’clock when the sharp piercing thunder echoed from across the street. An evening run to the local Seven-Eleven went sideways, horribly wrong.
Without the chance of realization, the body dropped to the broken sidewalk, heavy, in slow motion, with the low thud of a falling bag of maize.
Dark crimson liquid death, spread as a hungry fire feeling it’s way to nourish itself it grew, saturating concrete, trash, and soil.
Flashing blue Screaming red Reflecting lights on trees and onlookers… Where vacant eyes no longer stare, unaware that time itself has stopped. No more breath or the heartbeat of a child, sent to purchase a gallon of milk for the next morning’s breakfast cereal.
This was an experiment of taking Two types of poetry writing and blending them into a single piece. Firstly the poem has to be 100 words (exactly). Secondly it’s called a “breathing poem” and the point of this exercise is not using punctuation, no commas, no periods. Your reading mind creates the breaks.
I’ve Never undertaken such challenges and know so little about different forms of poetry other than the 5/7/5 syllable haiku…
This is Haven
In this world everything is more than possible Spectres dancing with the supernatural throughout the guilded night beneathe diamond haloed Strawberry moons circular rhythm spinning to ancient baroque song the echo of the vanity know not whom they are the chambers melodic rhapsody a living ball a waltz of fluid motion for undead souls silver goblets filled emptied refilled again in an unending celebration to those that harbour within the eternal night fresh Burgundy drawn from the source still warm from an offerings opened vein tops the guilded chalice and the company roars with delight Célébrer Les Bons Moments
The last howl Has left my bones No hunger No thirst No vision of morrow The rapture isn’t coming This is here and now
No ShangriLa No Nirvana No Heaven No Hell Maybe just the Lawlessness Of purgatory
An eternity of time To reflect And be Without decay Just see All of the wretchedness That there has always been What you wear As both understanding And warmth
You get it…. It’s never been about Karma Or Dogma, or Rites
Mass graves dug Buried with the foolish That allowed themselves To have hope… Belief
Some thought that they Would be delivered Away from it all Free Those who took the path Of Sylvia Plath Who was next on Anne Sexton’s way
I felt the Howl Of Virginia Woolf There was no comfort For Nicholas Chamfort
Why do I hear Their chorus of cries Reverberating within my skull No amount of Tylenol No Klonopin or Morphine Is going to be the great release Escape from this mental pain Like a frikkin’ cro magnon man
I left messages on the walls Hand prints in blood That spell out my name I never flew like the cuckoo Never had a nest Never got rest Liquid time stops for no one
Only the lucky Get to watch it change colors As the brook becomes the sea
This was a special piece for me because it came out of a rather dark place and mindset for me. As I wrote it and followed the direction of the muse, I was able to find a semblance of hope. The answers that you may find, through the organic process, following promptings of the universe or what have you, can take you places and illuminate pieces of you that you hadn’t previously known existed, and there… Is where we are in a position to face ourselves and identify what it is that moves us beyond the silent shadows within.
All the things in the world That made no difference in the end I wish that I had known How little I knew back then… Turning back the time I see that something in your eyes A reflection of what might have been I finally realize…..
In a moment You were gone I knew it All along You slipped away You couldn’t stay I wish I was as strong
You’re the Final Girl You’re the Final Girl You’re the Final Girl No one can take that away You’re the Final Girl
You are identifying your situation and finding and owning resolve! I AM so Very Proud of you I AM so Very Proud to have you as friend….. This world, This medium is So much better because of you
You Do feel that right?
You Do feel the natural support, emotionally shared by so many towards you?
If you could see you. Be you as I know you are! The brightness amongst the darkness, The Humble brilliance Natural order and MagicK! If you could Be the You I Know is there In there within you, tempted to peak out! And you were truly confident to wear your rightful identity as a crown of newborn stars…. The potential that you have thus received so far, is going to Pale in the Self that you manifest! Be Be Three Past, Present, Future But Own the Now!!!!!! Indeed… That is where ALL True Power resides Control the flow from Your fingers to toes Of you Breath Of letting Go We Are Gods and Goddesses Create, Facilitate, Translate The hidden wisdom Of the Universe To Those That are too spiritually young And untempered to Know or See The Truths that come From this veil That to them Is mystery Secret Unspoken But to us A Second Fluent language And Vision We Hold The Keys!
This is more than “SPOT ON” this is the Real Deal!

“I am seeing you need to be more focused into career and stop worrying about your future or stepping out of the box I see everything falling in place as well with love. I am seeing there has been jealousy around you through family and friends behind your back. You are a leader not much of a follower. I see there has been lack of sleep anxiety etc. you absorb a lot of energy. You give good advice to others but never for yourself. Your always putting your self last but I do see a change coming ❤️ you are very motivated and determined on achieving your goals and you will get there by your good karma. You love being recognized for your hard work but I see at times you feel not much appreciated!”
