On Destiny's Wings

When the wind
slices through
your transparent
soul
raging like a slow
and venomous
storm.

Close your eyes
embrace
the rage
for only then
can we escape
our cage.

We're trapped
desolate
scared and alone
justice betrayed us
and love left us
scorned.

Though fate
is merciless
and love
is blind
I still believe
that the future's
signed.

For the gift
of chance
graces destiny's
hand
she soars
like an angel
lifting those
who are too weak
to stand.

hope will find me

I wanted to laugh
today
the wind was fierce
and the sky
was grey
I wanted to laugh
today.

I wanted to cry
today
i saw a babe
kiss his ma
with an angels face
and infectious smile
I wanted to cry
today

I wanted to die
today
I saw love
and i pushed
it away
I saw death
and i kissed him
G'day!
I wanted to die
today.

But then hope
came along
and kissed
my jaded eyes
suddenly
the sky was
blue
death was waiving
adieu
the babe
made me smile
and love?
Well i guess
it was not such a big push
after all.

the beltane dance

The sacred breath
of the ancient ones,
envelopes their bodies,
like a soothing song.

Twin shadows
embrace,
in the full moon
light.
As a trembling sigh
escapes her lips,
he steals her innocence,
In the sacred rite.

A maid no longer
but a mother soon
The stars bow softly,
at the magestic moon.

Glistening her skin
with fragrant oils,
the heavens smile warmly ,
on the lovers souls.

His bride is radiant,
his love overwhelms him
as he passes a hand
over her womb,
where new life
begins.

Heaven's waltz

Snow flakes
mate
with barren soil
leaving behind
worlds veiled
in icey
glow.

Born of the heavens
they dance
into the night
shimmering
like diamonds
young lovers
in flight.
The blanket
they weave
is cold
as stone
but the memories
they leave
guides lonely
hearts
home.

The soul's reflection

The stranger
looked at me
through watchful
solemn eyes.
Her gaze
sliced
straight through me
like a soothing
gentle, tide.

She touched my cheek
and whispered
"I followed you
all the way"
I gasped a breath
the 1st
this soul
had ever seen
As I held her hand
and she
softly sang
to me
my name
It was like
a dungeon door
had slammed open
on my heart
and healed with song
what love
had torn
apart.
She passed me
a chalice
and it's nectar
burned my throat
as i drank
I heard my song
and to my soul
whisper
"Welcome Home"

Moon's Lulliby

I sang once
sadly
beneath the blood
red moon
I sang to her
of love
and watched
her swoon
"Tis you"
I sang,
that led me here
to wallow and sigh
neath your
magnificant
sky
For in my heart
bore the cross
of love
tis heavy
and painful
and sent
from above.
I bear it no longer
for he bears it alone
took it
with pity
when this heart
was scorned.
Alas my mother
the cross
marks are deep
for without it
I am empty,
shy of tears
that I weep
I know no pain
no beauty
no love
I hear no music
shy that
of a dove.
What does it mean
to be empty and hollow,
perhaps sweet mother
You'll show me
tomorrow.
