Siren’s Song
We three are sisters of the sea
we dacned upon the waters
play among the waves
and if you listen carefully
you shall here us sing
come away come away
We are sisters of the depths
waiting to lure you away
to come and play in our waters
games, just hold your breath and here our
song
come away come away
We are the enchanters

The Moon
Thy beauty haunts me heart and soul,
O, thou fair Moon, so close and bright;
Thy beauty makes me like the child
That cries aloud to own thy light:
The little child that lifts each arm
To press thee to her bosom warm.
Though there are birds that sing this night
With thy white beam across their throats,
Let my deep [...]

And I said
I shall burn
the fat thigh-bones of
a white she-goat
at her altar

First Daughter

First Daughter
Primordial first woman
misjudged
born of bone dust
daughter of Earth
she quakes in her own
pure sensuality
restrained
and forced
to live in innocent bliss
while the folly would blindly
follow pre-destined ways
she speaks of truth
desires more than the flesh
of platitude
tasting a world beyond
her fingertips
passion quickens
her eyes are determined
insensible men mistake
for weakness
born from their own fear
they could not take the first step
it was [...]
To Atthis

To Atthis
Though in Sardis now,
she thinks of us constantly
and of the life we shared.
She saw you as a goddess
and above all your dancing gave her deep joy.
Now she shines among Lydian women like
the rose-fingered moon
rising after sundown, erasing all
stars around her, and pouring light equally
across the salt sea
and over densely flowered fields
lucent under dew. Her [...]
Lilith’s Temptation of Eve

Lilith’s Temptation of Eve
Clad only in her naivety
sat the one Falsely Named
within her paradise
troubled not by thoughts
of the world
When there came to her
the one who should most disdain
slithering in the shadows
“I envy you not”
the voice rang true
“You are but a child
wearing the skin of a woman”
Startled from her reflections
of [...]
Without Warning

Without warning
as a whirlwind
swoops on an oak
Love shakes my heart

Soul-Sick

Soul-Sick
Too many lives
left behind
to be brought to this point
upon the trail of dust and bones;
death in the wake,
but only a death of the body,
yet what becomes of the soul
when the world makes it feel
insignificant
With so many changes
born witness,
so much pain and sorrow,
and yet when one no longer belongs
what is to be done
There must still be [...]
