TO THE SCEPTICS
Unranked in planet's pantheons
Without orbit in the void
Of nights in darkness without attractor
Savouring stillness in black symmetry
Shades turning grey without geometry
Windless, waveless on silvered glass

A turning of the page found another age
Moonbeams danced in water's fountain
Forms changed on Kolvir mountain
Taken far on different wings
Prismatic eyes a lover brings
Twice to take the cup of chaos
Curing Cancers, shattering lies
And now, forever, even solitude dies

I heard asked how such can come to pass?
Too fast to last
Too quick to stick
Sceptics saying ice cannot learn to burn
Hearken to my words
All may dare to share if they but
find a care

There's a burning in my blood
A spending spree in red velvet rhapsody
In all the minutes one would spend
No other currency could I crave
And not a second would I save
We gather here to share
So others will not stare
Some links cannot be broken
This ceremony but a token
For vows already spoken

NONNE DORMIS? ("ARE YOU SLEEPING?")

Nonne dormis, nonne dormis?
Frater mi, frater mi.
Sona matutinas, sona matutinas
Ding dong ding
Ding dong ding

RIBALDRY

Oh, the Hellmaidens are a touch to cold,

And Sawall's way to old.

Minobee girls are passing strange

Jesby's are all too plain

Merion's daughters romance the rocks

Kernush women appraise their socks

Chanicut gals probe too deep

while Helgram's play and sleep

But it's the Amber wenches I truly fear

They caress the steel and never tear.

I know my choice and what lights my fire,

It's the Roman lady that I desire.

 

THE PROPOSAL

"Does it not seem strange?
Shadows painted cross your face as you stare back at me?
Within, without it was there,
I said, "It's not to be in me."
I will not atone for that unknown,
But it evolved, and involved us
Revolved glowing phosphorus
Dissolved into Tartarus
And I confess an aversion for the brightness you extricated
For the love you generated
A never ending lightning stroke
Washing away pigment and paint
All the shadows have run away this day
Unfurling my feelings again.
Grant that I may glow in your rainbow
Take my hand,
Tell me I can be your man."

LOGRUS AND THE WAYS OF SAWALL

"I did see Discordia,
...and the Hibernaculum too.
We walked the Sawall ways,
And viewed the Grand Avenue."

HOUSE MINOBEE COMMENTRY

"In the garden there were spiders.
Look at what they weave.

Binding light and dark, and lightning stark
It's a place you can't belief."

THE TURN OF THE FINAL CARD

"Uphold the laws of our realm's rede.
Be high in spirit ye shall succeed.
With love's lore and soul's compassion,
Turn burning blades and mind's in passion.
Karma graced from physics four,
Heal the heart and spirit soar."

AVALON MONITOR

"Take it into one's hand,
Blow hot and cold,
Play fast and loose,
To be a mutable willow 'gainst storm.

Whispers in wind and raindrops on ground
Each to itself a symphony of sound
Bind them, spin them, to my ears.
That I would taste for all my years.

Earth, air, and fire, and all that I desire
I've got in the palm of my hand.
Long moments that I can dwell upon.
Within the sacred land of Avalon."
