Show me the secrets of your shadowy places, where the visage of men has not yet been. Lead me to your garden in the grove amongst the pines, painted flaxen gold in dappled summer sun. Show me your blooming petals and your fruiting trees. Let me harvest your abundance, caressed by honeyed fingers, cast long and low against the tree trunks, fading fire orange into vermillion, scarlet, crimson, and violet dusk.  In twilight turning, with Venus hung low on the horizon, and Scorpius rising from the southern hemisphere, Trust my hand and follow blindly through the forest, over hobbled rotten logs, under branches reaching, eyes shielded from their grasping, scratching talons creeping sticky with cobweb and lichen,  Quietly toward the moonrise, eastward and down, upon a matted needle trail, softly trodden only ever by you and by myself. Wander with me, barefoot, out, into the ether; under the veil of our night-mother's gaze and sublimate into the mist. Lay with me in the clover beneath the starsign symphony -Gaze upon its harmony and shimmering melody- Inhale the acrid sweet scent of our settling dew, and reveal to me your many flowered truths Show me your soul set aflame from love, and life, and pain. Share yourself unequivocallly; My Goddess and my muse, betrothed of imps and faerys radiate upon me - Become my revelry -

The garden of midnight (a repose)
Show me the secrets of your shadowy places, where the visage of men has not yet been. Lead me to your garden in the grove amongst the pines, painted flaxen gold in dappled summer sun. Show me your blooming petals and your fruiting trees. Let me harvest your abundance, caressed by honeyed fingers, cast long and low against the tree trunks, fading fire orange into vermillion, scarlet, crimson, and violet dusk.  In twilight turning, with Venus hung low on the horizon, and Scorpius rising from the southern hemisphere, Trust my hand and follow blindly through the forest, over hobbled rotten logs, under branches reaching, eyes shielded from their grasping, scratching talons creeping sticky with cobweb and lichen,  Quietly toward the moonrise, eastward and down, upon a matted needle trail, softly trodden only ever by you and by myself. Wander with me, barefoot, out, into the ether; under the veil of our night-mother's gaze and sublimate into the mist. Lay with me in the clover beneath the starsign symphony -Gaze upon its harmony and shimmering melody- Inhale the acrid sweet scent of our settling dew, and reveal to me your many flowered truths Show me your soul set aflame from love, and life, and pain. Share yourself unequivocallly; My Goddess and my muse, betrothed of imps and faerys radiate upon me - Become my revelry -
You- My Goddess Starchild You- My Fire Muse You- My Woodland Nymph, betrothed to Imps and Fairies...
