Harlequin Eyes

 

Rocks and Water

 

 

Upon which rock will this shatter

 

like leaves strewn to the wind

 

the calling of one's master

 

in the voice that sirens still spin

 

The rocks hold the hunger

 

but the waves deliver the need

 

between these two powers

 

is the magick that we seek

 

In the ghostwind I hear your callings

 

through the vapors of mist I fly

 

upheld by the promise

 

of oaths that will never die

 

In your eyes I see the Sun's face

 

a brilliant stone that blinds, yet holds

 

Sister Moon she guides the waters

 

and caresses me in her soft enfold

 

Is it the rocks or the waters

 

that take me to this peak

 

or do I search for the memories

 

of what my hungers deeply seek

Meditations

 

White light burning in the center of night

drained of all its heat

in stasis keep

only to be opened by the devils that we seek

Dreams that flutter through an open mind

fall to the sky

held by cold time

filtered in the gravel then shattered in the clouds

Holding visions of mirages lost

colors drip and melt

through this silver veil

only to be awakened by the dreamer's final sleep

The Rain

 

 

The rain, like a curtain

 

falls upon the earth

 

kissing as she bleeds

 

her life into the dirt

 

The rain spreads her fingers

 

and claws away the life

 

that dwells beneath the stones

 

and wanders without sight

 

The rain like a phantom

 

kisses her brother, Wind

 

as he whips through the branches

 

and slaps her on his skin

 

The rain screams her lustings

 

to the sky that cares for naught

 

only raising her lost hungers

 

to feed her emptied soul

Helios

 

Dance in this light

where the shadows float aside

touch the soft earth

and feel her gentle sigh

reach through the sky

and taste the sun's delight

dream in the mists

as the moon softly beckons

 

Cradle your moments

like pearl in the sand

discover every treasure

as you weigh it in your hand

laugh through the horror

that you felt but is gone

touch your tomorrows

before you move on

 

Kiss the sweet nectars

of your wishes that fly

remember their sweet fragance

and how they hold white lies

forget the lost angers

and release your rusting fears

your time has now circled

grow younger through the years
