Sacrifice

Men in  heat... tore at  her  softness,
stripped  her  into a  naked, small  nymph,
and  led  her  to a  grassy  hilltop,
to  be  sacrificed...



 

 

 

Faked Love

My  spirit  aches,  from running  endlessly.
Comfort  that  does  not  comprehend.
Faked  Love, has  rotted our marrow...



 

 



 

 

Aged Desire

Hurried by  impulse and diseased desire,
You  leave me  laying  dishonored,
in  an  empty  field...




 

 

 

 

Invented Gods of the World

You stole our  female sexuality,
turned us into virgins and  whores...

Tainted, treacherous, and  misunderstood,
You  tear out  our  hearts,
to the  edge of  the  core.

Women who gave you life, and educated you,
only to be burned at  the stakes,
when  you  grew..

I  choose not  to believe the
invented Gods of the Earth,
my own magnificent history has given birth.



 

 

 

Moon Girl

Restless  midnight,  led  me
to that  little  wooden dock  by  the  bay,
the  wind  was  wild, I  could  not  sleep...

Purple sea  foam,  touched my  feet...

You  were  dancing in a silver moon bath.
A little child, a limber elf, singing and
dancing to yourself...

You  seemed so tiny, on  that  little  dock,
dark  woods  all  around...

The  wind catching  wisps of  your  hair,
as  your  small  feet  touched  down lightly,
on  the old  wood, abound...

There was no music, only  wind and  sea,
and a chosen  silence in  the air...

Your eyes were green fire,
wild and abandoned, as you held your head high, in silent  prayer...


I  could smell  the sea salt  of  your  body,
a color of soft, sunset  pink, in  the  warm moonlight...

Uninhibited, eyes, soft  and shining  bright...

A liquid moon, moved gently  through the branches, of a  ghostly, creamy  colored,
little  tree...

Turning  your  small  shadow  into
transient  beauty...

You  had  the  self  possession, of  a  spirit goddess of  the  sea...

a  siren calling out  to  me...

A  wind spirit, beyond the crest  of  the  world...
Tossing your hair, you claimed  me  in  one kiss...

While my  heart  felt  like  a  wind  shadow, racing  across  the  sea,  like  a  mist...
