spilling over

Arch & brow
salty the tear spent
there is no illusion in the waters
heavy the copper reaches bottom
you have laid yourself upon the threshing floor
to be measured as grains of sand
the dark green glass in the window holds a flower
daisy chains, letters unwritten

that float, that hover
Robins egg, specks of color in your moist eyes
You can cry mister, you can break
we'll dirty our faces with the dust of grave
and sit as still as Angels among the markers
There are Prophets among the stones
that rise as evening drinks the sky
upon my bare arms cool voices beckon
a shiver and a flash & to be flooded
like a river drunk on the rain
hushed, barely heard, my tongue is conducted by saints
the waters spill upon the page

do you remember

who I AM

feathers scorched by son

salamanders we discover

under stones where we explore privately


the falconer

his arm steady

needs not eyes for seeking


O virginia in my blood

skyline driven

whiskey n train whistle

lovers finding comfort in youth

each a stitch

piecing me into being

Goddesses with ivy hair

hands of fae upon the cradle

silent woman red

knows the heart

speech

coo

a rap upon the door its morning

wood n chime metallic windsong

a wrinkle upon the waters serene

it seems i have stepped down from a dream


eyes wide open

dancing out loud

sun warms the skin

the heart bursts a thousand times


we walk without chains

and speak without flinching

seen, known, held in open hand


a flower opening its that simple


the stumbles are slow motion

the untended shades the wild brambles

shrink with the knowledge of the heart

and i dust myself off I dust MYSELF off


and there are times i feel to turn to you silently

to reach out and touch your worried face

as milk that soothes the child in the man


i could sink into the blue of your eyes

and spend eternity at your side


in only a moment a breath no seperation

i saw a dove today

this heart a tinder box

forever near to flame

& from ashes eyes rise

in my shiny new skin aglow


let me fly let me fly

here without wings

here without wings

golden the dusk settles

Holy Queen Sea sprays with laughter

Strange Woman barefoot on the Edge

bound by her own hand

liquid textures shaping hard realities

life collects in tiny pools

universes in a droplet

Eternity leaks from Her Cup

Red is the elixir
Red is the Jewel
the fiery tongue
the warm awakening

Entheos
Full

the form sways
to forget itself

a Receiver of the Dancing Gods

a Conduit of the Spiritual current

Everything Touched
turns to Gold turns to Gold

Honey drips from her fingers

petals fall crimson in the night

leaving our scent

she follows the Calling of the Lord

in leaps and in furied gestures

She embraces the nature around her

like a cloak is His presense

and your domination has no meaning

Your arrows do not break the skin

torn apart is the illusion

with her own hands with her own hands

Your ripped to shreds
beauty lay sleeping on the green Earth

with red lips that taste of wine and dream

m8

the snakes upon

his nakedness

dance

turbulent sun

wears no other

beneath the ripple

we touch

our songs of shell n fire

wait not

dissolve the wish

upon the tongue

of he who names you

feed him all of your heart

and receive only then

the ripened fruit

of returning

fire belly

& Angels sleep

a kiss

upon your eyes

no dream remains

we expand and contract

to allow the dancing frequencies

I AM thirsty from breath

& drunk on lovers wine

shattered glass

stained

by lights passage

floating upon space

untethered

your image changes

i do not reach to correct

only hold out

my open hand

a perfect drop

the tear

the rain

flood my being

and i drown

in the silence

of recognition

keyhole

shimmer scale n gasoline
thru the keyhole what the eye can't see

the truth of me is slippery
behold & i'm gone back to sea

the split of woman
a creature between worlds

half the dream of yourself
mother sister lover wench

half the woman in your hands
flesh blood bone n breath

can i speak now? can i speak
can i break the spell and still be received?

as you fall to earth
as you fall to earth

where your heartbeats drum
sole to soil
blood in vein

Now you shall Live
no dream remains

that is the kiss of love

that is the truth

woken beauty not thorn of sleep

petals open fragile the rose

and desire often breaks the frame of man

and desire Often breaks the frame of man

but the song remains

and we dance we dance

the language of Bees

guardians

Knight of scale & foam of sea
the capacity to give

an empty cup RAISED
your lips parched from journeys length

O lover
O sister
your shield is offered so sweetly
a peacock that has lost all vanity
spreads in service most high

heavy is the pierced flesh
the heart, your heart knows the sword, my friend
tears will wash away the clouds

i see a garden path
full bloom and unafraid
holy blood & holy water

open your hand

i am she

i can see her face

glimpses

burned upon the panes

the clear seperation

Is it she.....who is looking....or me.....who sees?

inside or out

our eyes hold the vision of this shimmery world

of light, of color

i cannot grasp the totality of her image

i cannot fathom my own face

this gros bonage

this walking beauty

whose feet dare not touch the Earth

she dreams where my day begins

its the dual touch that the lover receives

its the twinned voice that speaks you

shhhh...... mark your pages

where the words escape you

where the story fails to entice

its the little word....the gray

that holds her secret, that holds you

spellbound and limp upon the door

upon the mirror drooling

its the other side that shows your heart

your desire brings motion

shifting forms holding your eyes

this is her gift..... her fate.....

to cause you to believe the dream....

Medusa's voice

he took in me the desire

from the cradle
from the grave

i was Always willing

O Poseidon

i was Always willing

right here in the temple

right here under the painted ceiling

lighting fingers

swelling seas

swim through union like white fire

i will Not say no to this

bend me over

white mare

gallop through my lust

my need becomes as poison

my reflection shall be born of this kiss

curse your blue blood!

do not look upon my face

wisdom is a harsh mistress

now let the serpents remind you

let the serpents remind you of your power

show me

show me

the mirror

let me see what i have become

what looks back at you, is not dreaming

there is a witness to this storm

the back of the Mirror

i whispered your name

here

upon the pages

traces of you between the alphabet

i think

the clock has forgotten its time

absorb the rain

how crystal the sound of his call

upon the wind

upon the skins that slip away

jaguar hasn't forgotten the sun

and the Queen would soon tire of comfort

riot in the vein

gnaw on my maiden bone

hounds in the forrest

her musk invades the senses

bodies turn in their sheets tangled

sweat

lodge the bullet

close to the heart

so you will NOT forget Death

do not neglect your grave

succulent fruits

the gesture

the moment between

altered view

the back of the mirror

now

i can see

the season

watch your step

your dream has frozen

rivers

rivers where we stood

breathless

memory

crocodiles in my tears

a widows web does bind

stretching out the tattered wings

cutting loose the choking vine

crawling skin with silken worm

stitched the lips are salty

haunt me with your monotone

seduce me with my own delusion

this is no intrusion, i asked you to come in

chasing fireflies on childhood laughter

memory fleeting in the thin colors of summers day

not a choice

maybe, mother

he cannot look away

frozen in the light

illuminating his dark corners

stitching together his torn pieces

i am like water to his parched lips

soothing the screams and the rage

grounding the lightning that crashes

i stand straight in the face of the storm

arms raised toward this heaven between us

that like rainfall feeds the flower

and we are green and lush and clinging

maybe mother, there is no spell for this

wait

slow down

breathe

the steps must find the pulse

we must travel softly now

the page has turned dark

ghost paths

naked birch

a muted tapestry

the green has been bled

by remembrance

with the essential drop of tear

to hold the dream

how i long to kiss your sleeping lips

under my skin our story flows on without end, without destination


bah!

we resist the small voice

we work the strategies of the wound

skating across the frozen river

diving deeper into the pain


i would cover you
i would cover you, my love

with Earth
With my body

incubate you with my heat

where is the golden thread ?

i climb into the sky

to fufill an ancient neid

Angels bathe me in fire

the flesh a stench of fraility

writhing against the underground

the drums that shake me awake

is this night a battleground...

what shelter can i take

only rise.....only risen

a point of light

one who is pure white

with tendrils?
with tendrils?

that move about him

its a liquid realm

we move on will

his whisper is a kiss

his beauty shocks me

his eyes are sapphires

Pierce me, sweet fae, dangerous fae

break the cage of bone

my heart set free to roam

"ask the right questions" says he

I say..... "its such a fine fine web....
must i become the spider to understand ?"

you linger

sometimes the rain

lingers

dry now the rose threatens

to crumble

the dusty remains of a dream


in my head you walk endlessly

looking for something

left behind

i toss n turn in my sleep


strange the reaching

hand

how many hours until it fades

and your memory is a welcome guest

silent they move upon fog

strange vessels in slow motion

passage from here to there

i've paid my price


imagined, the kiss upon a sleeping mouth

shutter speed the images

almost insect like you come near to me

lush golden valley

Patchwork of Gods

we kneel at ancient wells

with pierced hearts

Polar opposites

we drop our bands into the darkness

and listen for the waters splash

as it swallows all promises past

naked hands pray

we begin again here in twilight

blessed

Painted eyes

masked animal

moutain water, holy water

black silouetted Pines

the color drained by dusk

wild geese coming or going?

ripples of time on the surface

barren trees scratch the sky

smoke rises from dwellings place

tales passed around the fire

crackle creations spark

preparing new dreams

Radiant cup is passed again

wine stained lips don't speak

combinations of the 12

dancing in the fields of Gold

chemical reactions

mixtures of self

for keeps

i've stood aboard your crystal ship

you've soaked me up like spilled wine

you carry me in your pocket



i've seen your poppy eyes

tasted the silent words under your dancing tongue

you cannot hide


its a chemical burn

the heart dreams on its own

you may think....your at the wheel


but baby the fates they weave

a wish, a regret, a tear to bind

time is hard to measure in flashes


i only know the weight of this stone

i'm holding you

for keeps

secret things

wrapped in creeper

wrapped in leafy things

to attract the gray

to bring down the sky

the open wound drips

the life blood drips

the rain drips......

spinning

woman

songs flow from us like waters

your eyes cannot behold this

such secret gifts of creation

shut the door

do not peek

we sing we sing

and waters flow

the clouds burst

shut the door

do not peek

the clouds burst

the faint scent of roses

let me wrap around you
a vine
let me climb your ruined walls
sublime
to bloom in moonlight
to scent your dreams

let me whisper her names
upon your silent throat

if you look close enough
you'll see everything
here
beneath my skin
feather n scale

beneath the scarlet tempest

past the broken mirror


under the waves......
she tumbles between us

do not
close your eyes to me, lover

look closely
there are volumes in my eyes

there is baptism

you....
take your time

it does not fade

the faint scent of roses will find you

as you daydream in busy streets

sleepwalk in neon lights

maiden forms like ripe fruits

you hunger, you thirst, sweet tooth

you......
take your time, love

it will not fade.....

the faint scent of roses will find you

this is the legecy of Earth

transforming the illusion of limitation

coloring the light that is our source

we are rich of spirit
we are rich with love

this is the bounty of harvest

this is the banquet upon the living waters

drink from my mouth

hear what i'm bringing through

this our legecy of faith

walking bravely the spaces

sometimes eclipsed by the hunger of neid

sometimes swallowed by our greed

i'll spend the hours in supplication

praying only for our truth

my blood sings of tides, of union

and when i struggle
like a fish out of water

when i falter the connection

you must forgive me my suffering

must forgive my pierced heart

knowing, knowing i will find a way

trusting my soul to stand on its own

i remain a sanctuary, a companion

though i'd walk the path of you breathlessly

lay down my body a bridge

lay down this body, the starry sky

softly, silently, we travel together

i bend, as an Angel, to kiss the child in you sleeping

i arch, as a lover, to meet the man in you with freedom

i dream, as a sister, to clear the way for your destiny

working endlessly the tapestry, weaving finely the strands

this is devotion, this is the Scarlet Path...

closer closer

closer

closer

my eyes ache to see you

who touches me

who stirs me this way

deeply so deeply

i dissolve on your tongue

impale myself on your sex

to die

a thousand breaths a million sighs

God Yes

closer
closer

let me take you while your sleeping

give to you eruption, devotion, my heat

i want to feed you from my garden

watch your fingers drip with nectar

o holy night o my love i find you in my dreams

closer

closer

the wax drips on your skin

the flame flickers, my heart skips, my heart skips

the wax drips

on your skin

petal by petal

he inches closer
to the invitation in me

i breathe deeply the electricity
we touch before we touch

like a soul in the water
rivers flow from my heart

fingers seek to know you
my hand meeting your hand

my eyes drinking your eyes
oracle, smoky mirror, fates

stitching us in bodies that entwine
moving Through us, healing us with union

and I Am myself, no longer a thought of me

let me feed you, the symphony

lick the colors that swirl against your skin

drink my milk, my desire

dip your tongue into my flower

i'm open

petal by petal i'm open

body burning in the Sun

cover me with your hunger

take me, as you take yourself

deepest, darkest, urge to mate

i'm not afraid of you

i'm not hiding

i'm open...petal....by....petal

touch me

playing fair

will you surrender

can you calm the storm of dominance

and lay a sacrifice upon the altar of our bed

to be devoured, to feed, to handle serpents

will you not look away?

as the eyes they possess you, as they scan your flesh

as fingers glide the hardness, the darkness, the green lover

as the tongue tastes of battle scars, of symbols, of sweat n heat

to linger, to linger...at the heart, upon the door a kiss, a breath

can i take you in my hands, will you trust me to know the way you

flow, the movement of your dance, the rise n fall of your body,


as i do my own

union

its the Queen who rises beneath the tongue
to be adored, to embrace devotion
the slim barrier of resistance breaks
to flood the body with white fire

O God
take from me my honey

O horned one
exchange with me the sun n moon

My supplicant
pray here between my thighs
and the breath shall be my song

your fingers playing upon holy chords
stripping from me the maidens mask

ripping from me the tangled vine
the grapes fat with ecstacys juice

there is no wait of darkness
right here
this moment we give in to lifes urge

and animals escape the flesh
to circle, to devour, to purge restraint

and i die, and i die, beneath the waves
between the rising n falling of arched surrender

to be born again in the kiss
to be born in the pools of eyes that do not look away

stand in your truth

baby, im Earth
got roots just itching to dig in
deep to the center, to the fire
right up next to the flowin river

i've tried blowin in the wind
but it keeps changing directions
and i'm scared....scared to glide the hours
scared to just wait n see....the clock is ticking

i'm dreaming of dark soil
where i can grow tall
shed my leaves
bask in the sun
be washed by the rain
be shelter from the storm
a bridge to the other side of somewhere

and those i love will gather
beneath my canopy
eat of my fruit
dream........freely n unhurried

i can't deny what i am

i seek the comfort and the strength
of spending a hundred years with the seasons
change....with the landscapes change, a witness

i am

and i long now to penetrate
to land and take root
to be tended n nurtured n loved

this is my heart speaking........

this is my truth

Navigation

waters from the Jaguars mouth

clear the humming of bodies in tune

no treasure on the bottom waits

Arches that once stood, stand

beyond eyes, under lids

together here

joined by a common thread

a knit of shamans shawl

wearing our symbols as ink

you've pierced my heart

like a cathedral that sheds its walls

endlessly we touch

and i pray not for you to choose

i am an instrument

the song will write itself

i adore you

i sustain you

i believe you

were all tiny vessels on the same sea

navigating the stars

the only compass is love

you hover near to me like dragons

wispy like smoke i take you in

exhale you slowly slowly

the moon barely visible, the streets wet

lamplight shiny night of no regrets

don't speak, don't say a word

let the silence carry us, wrap us in its velvet

your eyes in the darkened room seem endless pools

i feel you, feel your next move, as we dance

as only lovers do

scarlet thread confessions
serpentine obessesions
tied up revelations
squirming at mere touch


mercy
MERCY

he whispers his secrets
without blinking his eyes
he sits calm and silent
watching my sighs

his words like fire
set the spark
rising temptations
the inferno heart

we walk the scarlet path
past the holy
past the black
to the blood flow
sweet undertow
beyond control
we belong
we re member
we rise

with a flick of his hands
the rain falls harshly
and the winds rise.....

his eyes command
fair maidens sigh
and chase...he smiles
everything in its place

one stands defiant
yet licking her lips
flicker flicker flame
the one you will NOT tame

feather dancing across bare skin
alone in the movement........
the magick begins
rainslick tongue tricks
the dream of abandon..passions fix

quiver..shiver..fall
cat crawls..red claws
feline suggestions
seeking purrrfection

a wink a frown;(
defenses down
the guarded drown
in emotions flood

the open make connection....

a love that does not seek
only burns....a flame split
fire of one within two

my tears are your dark mood
your laughter my smiling face
feeling each other
through distance and time

i work to build a strong vessel
to be filled and flow freely
to hold your spirit like holy water
a blessing divine....two combined

merging......awakening
one heartbeat strong
our energies combined
become a healing hand
that shares freely with every heart

what is this resistance
that i wade through
why do i seek ghosts
in dark castles.....forgotten

seascapes.....sorrows tide
pulling me under to dark embrace
drowning fear and emotion

the dove cries haunting
in her wooded refuge
sounding from within~without

gray skies lost dreams
fog painted realities fade
creatures of mists.. watchers

flashes.......voices in silence
shifting flight........vacant
WE who seek Magick....seek movement
i set it free~

ahhhh and the breath
cutting the fog
the tower falls~

idol

he wraps me in velvet
as darkest blue dreamy
as a starless night

he's caught a shimmer
moonlight on polished stone
curves inviting touch
traced by fingers...smooth

does he see the subtle movement
of the eyes here in the darkened room
does he know that i live...still..forever

i've passed through centuries..hidden
treasure...valuble, yet none have seen
i've slept in hell black catacombs
and locked secret chambers...
in noble houses and traveled in
ships on stormy sea...to rest here
in this lonely tower where the
moonlight peers at me at last
and i breath again in words.....

Solitary Practitioner of Love

he's a solitary practitioner

holding the balance
throwing off emotion like garments
standing strong unmoved
wink if you will he smiles
he'll keep you at safe distance
with a single look...eyes dark and forbidding
do not touch....you never will
he'll become mist...invisible
a ghost at your fingertips
a wish

a Prayer

o Goddess
may your path
unfold before me
make me fluid enough
to see the signs
that guide my course

i stand ever before you
naked
robed in nothingness
ready to wear
your many faces

the virgin of Spring
bathed in the perfume
of the etheric rose

the divine mother
lending my body
to circle of life

Tapestry

behold this tapestry
of me
weaved with infinities hand
i focus on a single thread
i ride a single strand
i hide out in the fringe
my totality sublime
a red flower here
yet i am the vine
the knots
each loop and bend
and every straight line
in every color i am found
every thread holds the key
patched and restored
stained torn and faded
every fiber me
yet i take notice of little pieces
certain aspects of design
and to the beauty of this
piece of art
i find i am still blind
still looking
following this
waiting to unravel

music

music sofly in a room
i ride the baseline beyond time
and keep the hypnotic drumbeat
with emotion building...allowing
i conjure up four walls of nothing
pulling you to me on the chords
my fellow traveller...secret desire
invisible.... a ghost without form
i command you~
unravel...udone...unlocked...take flight
let those around you wonder as you fade
like smoke rising altar incense
we move.....not lost...but found
on beams of sunlight warming... right
and if you look into the blackened mirror
my eyes seeking the depths...reflecting
if you face the shadows residing
in me......in you....... then the black
becomes a dancing floor and i'll melt
into the music of you

De Sire

o my desire
come seek your divinity in me
my heart unbound now set free
in your eyes....i see the shift....the worlds...the 3
i find in me forgotten magick...i find the primal force
come closer......closer..........i offer warmth
heartbeats rhythym like a drummer calling us on
to the place where language fades...only sounds
mmmm......only the two together.....only one
until the catch of breath...

where even the slightest

petal soft movement will bring on Heaven

be still

be still with me
o the feel of you like coming home
like familliar passageways.....my Power place
like the dreamscape sculpted with divine hands
my heart rejoices.................i am content
now my love.......come
come to me like thunder...........like lightning
like hard rain on arid land
like a nymph seeking breath
every caress.....all that was lost is found
with all my darkness.....all my light
my soul takes flight
higher.......higher
to the top............to the summit
and its YOU that i hold.....as the energy peaks
and always......always at the brink.....on the edge
i find i remember your name........i call out
my invocation
my mantra
my own

lovespell

my darling
my Magus
o diviner
turn me over
the cards are laid
ahh the Lovers
divine union
ancient Magick
we know the ways
come write your spells
on pale wanting skin
come let the initiation begin
whisper soft deep incantations
desires own language
forgotton tongue
the threefold kiss
ecstatic journey
we travel the scarlett road
between betwixt
o my other
fleshed out before me
sweet reunion
myself i hold
you call me out
in your tales of power
i find my yearning
command my will
and the heart
begins to open
returning outward
no longer stilled
the wine cup filled now
overflowing
shall we drink my love?
with all my power
with all my need
as it is written
so let it be~
and with athame
i call to the East
bring up the wind
caressing your cheek
and with the wand
i call to the South
raging the fire
calling You out
and with the offering cup
raised to the West
the flowing cool water
love that is blessed
with my own hand
i trace the pentacle in sand
to the North and my body
i lay down before you
and to the center now
my cauldron deep
trancendence

written on my skin

what dream is this
my shadow lover
without body
he finds me waiting
and follows my longings
written on my skin
strange Haiku on flesh
secret language elemental
transformed and born on my lips
i cry out the words of invocation
and conjure my lover a dream....
a touch......an etheric kiss

why can't all mornings be like this!

serpentine movements
up my naked back
quiver..electric skin
kisses on neckline
fingers in my hair
overtaken
sensations
delivered etheric
who are you i say?
no answer just power
surging pulsing alive
waterfall

i dare not speak his name
but come to him on spiral pathways
energy roads from within reaching out
only the one who can wade through my shadows

to the burial grounds my burnt offerings

and find me in the ashes of my crumbled ruins
and be unmoved as the flames lick our feet
firewalker....shadow stalker.....dream traveller

he shows me the meanings
written on stone arches
and i touch softly
my own secret places

when i reach out to touch the flame
always pulled in by the flicker
the dancing heat reflected in brown eyes
he keeps my distance for me
knowing i would be consumed..gladly

when the waters fluid cold message
pours over me.....taking me under
tumble...let go...drowning dark no
he waits at the surface like
lights beckoning....rise..rise

on solid ground i find him
behind gnarled trees hiding
as the wind rustles leaves
whispering to me come....come
he waits there in dark places
watching my resistence a smile?

in the smoke that rises
fragrant offerings
i see him...a glimpse
a smell male and dark
now a smile on red lips
i see...how we shadow
each other from afar
taking in the sensations of 2

ahhhh but in sleepy doorways
left open....i wait for
the turn of your key

u Move me

you move me
through chaotic oceans
ice castles frozen longing
through fire towers falling falling
through stormclouds of my dark emotion
you move me
like blood in vein
swimming in my energy tides
from earth to beyond and back 3
you move me and i open locked doorways
building bridges in dreams
watching the images shape the dream

frequent flyer

will you hear her here
without voices
in the darkened room
of her captivity

frequent flyer
child of the wind mage
watch the look of her eyes
as she reaches the doorway

shhhhhhh be still
don't wake her from this journey
etheric connection
timeless exchange

pulsing alive movement
breathing you
energetic mixture
will you breathe her in?

an owl cry
on nights passage
hunting down our secrets
calling my name

no need for blood
my essense can be tasted
in tears........in breath

bring me the dreaming
knowing we see better
in the darkness my love

and in these still places
of flashes and starlight travel
i know you...i know you
and in forgotten language
we speak the mystery

without bodies
we unite
forever fading with the suns kiss

he tastes like moonlight
and warm summer nights
where i am lost
in timeless heights

he smells of fire and wind
stormclouds and sin
and i breathe his breath
and give in..give in

he speaks of secret things
volumes forgotten..ancient
his whispers deep..my body sings


he feels like ressurection

2 brothers

in a vision
two in the churchyard
one the diviner
one the scribe

two cats in the graveyard
and someone weeping at the forests edge


access denied
moonlit passage
go away said the masked one
your not ready for me


run run through the darkness
the maze way the opening
to the water...to the blood
shhhhh you must be lost now
if you want to see

lay me down
in comic ocean
lose me in
the chaos tide
the ebb and flow
the forgetting motion
find the place where
dreams reside

calling...... calling
haunted moaning
where words are lost
and garments falling

only the free can ride
he'll take you down
to unfamiliar depths
where you no longer see
where you must let go

old and ancient
mighty.....unmatched
he moves without restraint
he'll show you the way

can you let go?
no control
to be taken down
naked......found
the death of limitations

let go let go
ride the flow
down down
he will rise....he will rise
sweet the breath
the motion of ecstacy

flashes

a sudden flash that brings my attention

birds are singing where you walk

and you cradle me here in space

you never went away

i only stopped looking for you in every face

and now i hear you

pondering the depths, like you do

finally, i understand your precious autonomy

and still i wish to sit a little closer to the fire

cuz we are under the same sky dreaming

and a Star is falling
