~ On the Darkest Night of the Year ~
On the darkest night of the year,
i follow you through this darkness here,
and like a shining bangle on your wrist
i will worship & confess~
i will follow you to the orchard then,
be you sister or be you friend
and offering secrets not mine alone
tell your heart as if it were my own~
Shall i sing of things to come,
of things not found, of things unknown?
and speak of questions, not yet asked
of all that's gone, of all that's past?
For we are more than what's left behind
creatures of another time
weaving our gowns from borrowed thread
of what we are and what we've been~
so i will follow you, where you go
discover you still from what i've known
and like that threading in your dress
i will worship and confess~
~ Invoke ~
Pressing my fingertips to the soft curve of your mouth,
i call you out from darkness, willing you to me
In dreams i move silent to seek you out
drawing back the sheets, i invoke thee
Focus that keen and wandering thought upon me,
put aside your watchful god
lose yourself in what the goddess has bestowed me
prick your finger upon this rose
My lips repeat every gesture,
my hips follow the plan of your hands,
you say you've known this a thousand years
i drink your soul and you understand...
That i could conjure your lust with my kisses,
spin your desire into the hem of my cloak,
wear your mouth like a charm between my breasts
and taste the shudder that i provoke.

This is gorgeously erotic, and I love the lush imagery. Beautiful!
~ Fire & Wane ~
That night in the forest,
you said that my hair
reminded you of pale fire
as it lay across your thighs.
That night beneath the canopy,
when the rain came finally,
green smoke lit the branches
and drifted into its height.
You said that i was
your deep end of the ocean,
that my saltiness
made you thirsty for more,
and as we made bare shelter
of arms and boughs and
the soft curve of the gully
where the rain had poured-
i became that fire for you,
my skin the wane of the moon
and making us a temple of the evergreen
we slept in its silence like a womb.
