Perfect Drug

Out of fuel

Dead of the road of love

You drove into my life

Gave me some of you

To fuel my fire

~*~

As you cycle through my body

You become a part of me

The perfect drug

I can't live without

Another needle, please

~*~

No longer depressed

By your light, impressed

By your hands, caressed

Perfect drug

~*~

Red rose

Red rose, don't decompose

Red rose, let me propose

Hands in hands, cloth Celtic knotwork

Handfasting, everlasting

~*~

You and me and you and me

Only for ever after, evermore

Together, sacred forever

~*~

No longer depressed

By your light, impressed

By your hands, caressed

Perfect drug

Special Dance

You make happiness

My reality

Filling me with your tongue

Your fingernails dragging across my back

You make me

Dance

~*~

Music plays on in my mind

And I dance forever

You've put me in your trance

I weave for you a special dance

On and on

Sweat drips from my brow

Yet still I dance forever

Filled with you

~*~

Body tired

Mind just started

Eyes filled with you

I dance forever

You my trance

I weave for you a special dance

You my audience

As I perform from the heart

Balefire

Why does this word

Mean so much to me

Now?

Why does this word

Fill me to the brim

Overflowing

~*~

I see a light

At the end of the tunnel

Of loneliness

I see you, light up

Bardess, you light my red candle

Diana give me your blessing

Cernunnos dance with I

Around this Balefire

~*~

Why does love

Mean so much to me

Now?

Why does love

Fill me to the brim

Overflowing with love

~*~

I see you

Only you

You are my love

You are my, Balefire

Light up the night with me

Time Travel

Travel back in time

One hundred and forty years ago

I was a hermit, healer of the sick

You came to me one day

A sickened maiden

I gave you the cure

And you gave me something special

The village found out about us

To them you were in league with the Devil

And I was burned to save your soul

You watched me die

~*~

Travel back more in time

Seven hundred and twenty years ago

I was a Dryad upon Anglesle Isle

I came to Avalon one day

You were a High Priestess

A well versed Bardess

With you I sang the mists away

Then the two worlds separated

You stayed and I left

I could not leave Stonehenge behind

Even though it killed me inside

~*~

Travel back further in time

Five thousand years ago

I was the Chieftain of a Celtic tribe

You were to be my bride

But a cavebear destroyed our future

The same day you died

I crawled inside myself

Could not live without you

Had to join you

So I took my life

To be with you in the spirit realm

~*~

Our lives be tied together

Past, present and future

This time I'll do it right

I will not burn, without you

I will not turn away, without you

I will not let you die, without me

Praise The Bee

I follow a bee through the forest green

Over and under, nature so healing

Then I see

What has to be

The most perfect rose

~*~

I thank the bee, praise the bee

For leading me, to thee

~*~

Cannot pick this rose

Or it might die

Instead I live beside the rose

I sleep upon the forest floor

Rose brushing against my face

Oh such grace

Going at a natural pace

~*~

I thank the bee, praise the bee

For leading me, to thee

~*~

Lovely rose

Oh lovely rose

When winter comes

I huddle around you

To keep you warm

To keep the frost away

Christmas rose

You will live forever

If I can help it
