Call to me Enchantress, Awaken!     How long must you sleep undisturbed?     What  forms will you gather in the midst of my dreaming? Come to me   Lucid waking life I watch for you     On walks behind each bush, each tree through crowded room At times our eyes touch, electricity courses from my stomach leaving through my mouth in small gasps     But the facade breaks, you flee I search you out and only during nights breath     I run pursued by your many forms and faces... Ha! One nights day I may surprise myself     Turning to face my pursuer     You!     Please come to me, show your true self, lead the way I saw your face in the mirror night last, vague and unpretty   That time in the ice and snow was that your best?     Remember! I followed your tracks     You turned gazing at me with yellow eyes before bounding off Bending down, my hand inside the print of your paw seemed small     A drop of blood red on a crust of ice suddenly convinced me of the reality     Of that moment     Tremendously excited throwing my thoughts to you       I call come back... Stoic, still, yet razor sharp     Only the green haze from the forest remained Another time I will follow But in in my excitement I lost hold on my dreaming Remember Raven

Enchantress
Lotus blossom frozen on her head Stone tears falling from many ancient beds Torn aparts one heart passing on the wheel How many lifetimes have we bwnn to the other Mother, Father, sister, brother Choice no such thing Given up when the fabric of their flame was sown Magic was locked inside half her heart The other half he owned She is Bran the goddess half Living blind behind the mask of his Dark moon eyes Heard all his lies And tasted the ******** with bliss of his first wal As he began to hide himself from others before the fall Descent Oh yes she rejoiced a jealous goddess He belonged bonded by fire only to her What right did those others have To taste that first kiss And to touch with fingers belonging only to her Humans on earth Wrapping them so entirely within his wings Dark secrecy, lust, many other things So in a rage of passion She tore the very things that allowed flight From her back Oh yes blood flowed red Descent Giving up all past memory of true bliss Every memory of his face, his kiss, his heart Her dark twin flame forgotten Nor a backward glance was given Fallen to earth indulging the passion Meet and separate time and time again The wheel rolls on Blind to the other The wheel rolls on So as ages pass some ligering of him Stored somewhere in her head Just a vague memory Would call to her for one brief moment Bliss remembered Stolen between the twilight of sleep And the ending of dreamtime Great bells ringing, tolling bells singing Come to me Hearts beating sirens calling Come to me In tunnels of time, in caverns of rhyme Behind dark moon eyes Traces of him come calling Remember Come to me my torn apart Dragons tail crosses the sky Dreaming is ended fall no more Our flame burns on Come find me if you will come find me You will

Love Song Don't you know I love you more than I can say Or put in words forbidden, its more involved each day Since my feelings are no longer hidden How do I make the conection, to tell this girl Her sweet perfection, of the youthful face I see The exurberance of life I love Suddenly my prison walls have crumbled The heavens moan, the mountains rumbled My universe has never been for such a long time So stable And I wonder the next tale of this golden fable Old memories long forgotten My emotions so strong to fight My minds whirling with wrong or right Suddenly my universe is swirling Vision is distorted by my human rain My heart is thumping my heads whirling Again I'm vulnerable to your pain Oh bonnie lass with eyes so deep Whom I run naked with in my sleep Can your eyes measure the torment Through which I've been In this thousand years since you took me in Twin flame I am, brown eyes and long dark hair Loving a grey haired Enchantress With skin so fair With Warmth and compassion so rarely found A beauty and gentleness that Outshines all those around Eons will pass by, lives flicker and then die And for every soul that can't find love Lonely wind will carry their sighs And tears will fall as rain from high above Loving you has been and is to me The peak of the mountain, the top of the tree And that we loved at all will only be in the knowing Gone but not forgotten in the going Raven

Love Song
It's the twilight of December early dark And the Mother Goddess In her slumber sleeps and dreams, Like the fog she moves stealthy on tip toe Across the sky The Moon like a swollen belly drifting silent and alone in frozen space smiles in her watchfulness of Earth Mother and laughs a Crones laugh December 21 2013, Raven

Twilight of December
Time is filled with false promise Pain does not erase forever The sweet momory of a face Interwoven lives in golden haze Amongst memories of dead tomorrows Lined up alongside shimmering woods barefoot with grass Ghost like ribbons of unproven tomorrows Floating images spent on quiet ponds Periscope eyes yielding dippers, into dreamtimes of effortless passion Vast vaults of time smooth with summertime sleep This is what I see as I look deep Long slender fingers pressing down Keys black and white Lifetimes spent... Sacred Sound Notes carved from your heart sent heaven bound You lived four score and ten You name unwhispered in other hearts Nor was there one who greeted you at your door You called out, cried out long into the nights This lifetime spent alone and lame No fame or recognition But poverty and hunger were your daily bread A single cover for your bed, not even a pillow for your head Ink a few sheets of paper, candles some wine You spent your all, to own a mistress, of wood and bone The candle you burnt was at both ends Without regret your heart was given in its purest form Bliss is what you mastered wth your art you used the pain of us apart So full and open was your heart that your music did not dim with age I called for you one whole month and then another Come to me come to me softly I whispered Come rest you've done your best Time to come home my Darkling It is the end... this script... this test Lay your head upon her ivory skin Kiss her fare thee well I promise you shall meet again. Come rest, the best is yet to be You rose up from four score and twenty. Your room alive with warmth and golden light Covered in Blue Stars you took my hand, a very bright light was burning You grinned, you saw a youth A boy of twenty in your skin

Poet do you recall when during days long done                       Once when very young You placed my scented kerchief beside The small cross I always carried On the wind we heard the clank of marching men And the Tinkling of Bells To my touch your armor was hot Dust rose in great clouds and could be seen for miles Unlike others your horse, fat from spring grass Pranced and chaffed at the bit So eager to leave, like you my Noble One I rose to the promise of a kiss But her lips were assaulted by your sweat and tears You were violent and that kiss broke the strings and voice of my song Now I no longer sing   The Crusades are over the round table is empty   Women only sometimes dream of Gallant men                               Weaving their fantasies through their poems and books Funny thing though, the quest is very much alive and true Recognized, known only to a few And when meeting sometimes during that short passing You can still hear Poet The Tinkling of Bells Enchantress speak to me and I will listen Spin for me those golden words, so long departed, dark ages past When truth was lost and light stopped burning When reality was the sword and true love didn't matter Birds were the only thing left singing and Camelot someones crazy dreaming Stone tears, tolling of bells ringing in my ears Left alone so many years and yet the vision Is not lost nor the tears What Cost? Enchantress my heart was true what did I do? Fingers falling on the frozen ground His hair blood red, the face a frown, yet he's still allowed to see He saw a door the light was shining as he sighed As he moved alive into his dying Deeds long spent flashed before his eyes of a lady in waiting His lady of golden locks and of perfumed kerchief His poet, spinner of words and song Thoughts of two hearts beating yet as one So far away he could not come In a golden haze with divine grace the Goddess allows to see To know at last a vision, no mercy, no innocent victim A ribbon of moonlight covered the trees He knelt by her alter a knight on his knees Pedals of roses crushed all around he remembers,  a promise broken Of how he'd lost hope A knowingness of what his life was and could have been Again I remind you that truth had died, the Goddess she rested deep in slumber Waiting the circle to complete The knight knew then the Mothers name was nursed at her breast And yet with no remorse betrayed her to follow the Quest From his sword blood flowed in self righteous rage And throughout all the land he cried, "the goddess is dead she died !" Then as the vision fades with a jolt of pain so complete He realises his true love, his  lady in waiting has died Back on the frozen ground snow began to fall He remembers how he'd hidden a locket deep in his pocket Inside a trendle of golden hair plus an emrald so green From the Isle of his dreams and the young maiden he'd left there Still alive, alive with his dying to the goddess he screams The locket still clenched tight in his hand Now I know its heresy that men live only one life One god one Christ guilt rides high a burden carried so long Past all around, everyone can share, sin not someone else s duty to take away Its our own responsibility, no innocence in the game we play we write our own script Earth a school house testing ground, We're actors in a play Poet do you recall when during days long done once when very young Love is an open door listen to the whispering s of women like we did before The day the Goddess went to sleep all men died, forgot how to embrace the Mother Avalon lives I'll give you a clue there's nothing to do ,  you hold the key It takes courage to be what you are. We've come so far, so many lifetimes Traveling around passing each other on the wheel Listen oh listen, can you hear the Tinkling of Bells So my sweet Avalon you who have the power to awaken in your dreams Sing a new song you say A tale not told, let the path create itself be bold Now in this new day new age hearts are beginning to open Twin Flames  together Standing in their places of power letting love in so it may flower Following their own footsteps not afraid of the fire As a rule great power comes with dependence on each others fuel Each receives a part of the other, that's the golden rule If you make Avalon your quest I'll give you a clue The magic of imagination is the surest tool Use it wisely remember that for every one who knocks the door will not open Only Twin Flames hold the key Love in it's purest form, the Token www.thetinklingofbells.com
