Heaving Heart

Science cannot understand

Blind faith cannot command

I do so make this stand

For your love

~*~

Oh holy altar

Thy stones never fault

Stonehenge circle round

Thrust deep into the ground

Standing strong against the effects of man

I do so make this stand

Because I wish and can

~*~

Your tongue in my mouth

Fingernails raking across my back

Hands wrapped together turn to Adders

Your smell fills my lungs

Your breath becomes my own

My heaving heart, your second home

Eyes trap me, held within your glaze

Your smile makes me warm inside

~*~

Perfect woman, why have you turned to me?

Perfect woman, why do you spend your time with I?

Perfect woman, why do you give me love and ask nothing in return?

Perfect woman, be mine forever

Perfect woman, handfast with me

Blind The Night

Your hands in mine

My hands in yours

Wrists bound together

Celtic handfast cloth

Gaelic script combines us forever

Me of the old ways

You of the light

Together we blind the night

~*~

Yourself in my arms

Myself in your arms

Bodies bound together

Celtic handfast knot

Rune script combines us forever

Me of the old ways

Me of the light

Together we blind the night

~*~

Yourself in my heart

Myself in your heart

Soul spirits bound together

Celtic handfast knot

Dragon script combines us forever

Me of the old ways

You of the light

Together we blind the night

Iron Taste

Crimson rose burning

Inner universe turning

Angelic grace give peace

Sacred spring fill me with healing

Dip my chalice into the life giving well

Iron taste, cycles throughout

Feeling bitterly better

Feel like showing a smile

~*~

I was cold

But you warmed me

With your light

I was cold

But you held me tight

I was cold

But you set a fire

I was cold

But you became my desire

I was cold

Now I'm not

I was cold

Until you came to me

~*~

Fires bloody rose

Changing soul spirit bend

Grace giver angel's peace

River blessed intoxicated healed me

Cup dipped with well giving life

Tasted iron, through entire

Bitterly feeling better

Show smile

Holding Hearts

Crimsoned rose

Blood boil inside

Fueled desire, burning

I want so bad

~*~

Hatred melts

Ice blossoms apple

Tree take root

Began again, replanted love

~*~

Again I kiss the rose

Happiness, loving forever

Holding hearts

~*~

Oak leaf fall into thy hand

Acorn become one with thy hand

Lake replaces sand

Script of ages

It was you who turned the pages

~*~

Again I kiss the rose

Happiness, loving forever

Holding hearts

~*~

I thought love would show up never

But now that it has, let it be forever

To set my heart at ease

Inside your own

Red Ribbon

Red ribbon

Tie your hair back

No need to hide your eyes

No need to hide yourself

Open the windows inside

~*~

Make me your cloak

To wrap around you

On cold night

On all nights
