Cordelia

In our hearts, young Finches.
The last ash falls upon lucid dreams.
Blood stained face, dreaming...
Woe! and girl cries out in the night!
Spindling tresses stick to damp cheeks.

Atlas

When I die, bereft.
Lost in silence in my chamber.
Fruitless, broken mutters!

Eremitic

Like the dark before the dawn,
beast of prey does stalk the fawn.
Wise Hermit waits within the queue,
Time again he waits for you.

Monastic skies blanket overhead
cloud covered moon awake the dead.
Wailing viola lulls the lake,
Aiding in a lover's ache.

Béni Soit

The pass of Love be Man's display
golden sand dunes span the day.
Until ye dive into passions sea
lest the heart suffer forever away.

Nasturtium

A boy picked a flower
and it taught him to grow.
He kissed her petals
and dreamed in her scent.

Then he closed his eyes
to use color
and the orange moved him
the black did scare him
blue rained down
and took her petals
and as death embraces her
he is lost in a sea
of Nasturtium flower.

Illis Qui Spectant

A face of gold greets the night,
unblinking, timeless eyes brimmed with down of galest wings.
Beneath her motherly gaze, a pavane fills the court,
Figures two by two by cloth of silken web.
Dispersing and immersing footsteps of the fae,
glimmering ingot gates spread their arms out wide
to rejoice the coming of the twilight.
Shadowed forms stirring in the brush
wish to coalesce the revelry.
And as the music dwindles into reticence,
the sighing ******* of lovers entangled and mother suckling babe,
that which goes unseen by fools
kisses the brows of those who look.

written to Maurice Ravel's Symphony "Pavane of a Dead Princess"

Womb

Low hangs the helmet of Erebus
Pillars of time and space.
Alone
floating in blackness
Burning star is melting *** for dreaming.
He can hear the wishes of the mortals
Greedy, lustful urchins.
Something moves past naked eye
swarm of fire cuts through the empty.

All goes still.
They are not alone.

Something is howling in this soundless void.
Something is crawling through the cosmos.
He is frozen with fear.

The screams move closer, as he see's a visage.
The face of God? Or the face of Death?
It swallows him whole.

Back to the womb from whence you came.
The first spark of light as you reach back towards life.
