    Lilith Be Her Smile.

    Thursday, May 29, 2008, 02:26 AM [General]

     

    A screech of Owl from ancient Yew

    That echoes in the skulls

    Of those who were the congregation

    Graves all smashed apart

    Where Belladonna preaches now

    And Ivy binds the tower

    Covering the stained lost saints

    As Monks Hood chants the hour

    He lay upon the broken alter

    Gazing to the sky

    Night velvet kiss breeze welcoming

    As Moonlight gently hides

    The priestess strides to take him

    And Lilith be her smile

    Their flesh becomes a passion vessel

    Overflowing wild

    At peak of moment strikes him dead

    She takes his final breath

    Another soul forever rapture

    One with queen Lilith.

    A Hedgewytch Tree

    Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 01:43 PM [General]

    A tightly twisted knot of darkness

    Hides the reason deep by earth

    Roots that feed from tearful seasons

    Overflowing Well of dirth

    Moonrise draws the sap of sorrow

    Moon ebb wanes yet sorrow grows

    Habitually the tree remains

    A Hedgewytch of the old hedgerow

    Bitter sweet to fruit from blossom

    Better left to rot unknown

    On branches thrown in poise of torment

    Shadows cast its tale of woe.

    A Sigil Awhile.

    Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 02:28 AM [General]

     

    With sun upon one hand

    Moon upon other

    I stand as a sigil awhile

    At once as a tree grows

    From deep root the sap flows

    Rising and falling as tide

    Through sun moon and seasons

    To grow for a reason

    Other than ego or pride

    To keep ever with you

    The view from your high hill

    And living the ley as I stride

    Stood but a moment seemed

    Ever remembered dream

    With sun and the moon for my eyes.

    A Faery Ring Fair.

    Monday, April 14, 2008, 03:37 PM [General]

     

    With Thyme in her pocket

    A chaplet of Violet

    A sprig of the Goat Weed

    Worn in her hair

    A pinch of the Bay

    To open the way

    A Bluebell ring heralding

    A Faery ring fair

    To dance in her Catkin gown

    Spider spun lace

    Mossy her shoes

    A smile on her face

    From dawn until dusk

    And dusk until dawn

    At mid night and mid day

    A kiss for us all.

    Nothings There.

    Thursday, April 10, 2008, 06:28 AM [General]

     

    Flits within the corner eye

    And disappears not to be spied

    You search in vain your search it hides

    It's grin you feel to your surprise

    It's hard to catch or rationalize

    The glimpse of nothings there

    A boggart be its name for sure

    It came in through your open door

    And likes your cupboard under stair

    And there it's homely cluttered lair

    And when you're all and fast asleep

    Out it slither tiptoe creeps

    To muddle up your gentle dreams

    And loiters till you wake

    You rise at morning rubbing eyes

    There's something here or there you cry

    A laughing sure you heard no lie

    A feeling you can't shake

    All day it hovers just behind

    The back of somewhere in your mind

    You're sure you must be somehow blind

    To what or isn't there

    This elemental darkened sprite

    Doesn't like the sun bright light

    And feeling better in the garden

    Courage grows and senses harden

    Then a twinkling glint idea

    I'll tidy out my under stairs

    And later in the darkling eve

    You find the Boggarts taken leave.
