In the House of Mithra
Upon his throne of light
fade away the day
dawning into night.
Encroaching end near to sight
darkness will carry warmth away
upon his throne of light.
Sorrow tinged in golden delight
each age yields the way
dawning into night.
For new life to burn bright
and illuminate the gray
upon his throne of light.
Eyes shinning futures insight
shades of past memories play
dawning [...]

Heaven and Earth
Radiant on his throne of golden light,
eyes cast down upon the Earth far below
nothing concealed from his blazing sight,
his beauty cast within fire’s warm glow,
from his gilded sphere sweet music will flow,
he rules the kingdom of the higher mind,
from dawns fingers the intellect will grow,
hidden wisdom he inspires man to find,
a blaze of [...]

Lord Shiva
World destroyer
you dance
the sacred bones
ash faced
and moon eyed
Your secret smile
knows the truth
rendered blind
to others
Understanding
beyond limitations
from this is gained
the serenity of
destruction
From his own
annihilating
forces
creation is allowed
to spring from
life’s pure well
Fear not he
who shakes
the earth
beneath our feet
Come before
his feet
and be blessed
by the lord
of the sacred
dance
It is the
dance of life
only in death
comes renewed
growth
One world dies
another springs
forth
the balance
which must [...]

The Wine of Dionysus
The rhythm of the drums roll
vibrating through the bones
feel it deep within the soul.
There is a full moon tonight
and it is shining bright
so all ye maidens beware
for tonight is the night
that Bacchus has come to roam.
He will steel a kiss and perhaps a pinch
but all in the name of fun, so set [...]

Flower god, god of the spring, beautiful, bountiful,
Cold-dyed shield in the sky, lover of versicles,
Here I wander in April
Cold, grey-headed; and still to my
Heart, Spring comes with a bound, Spring the deliverer,
Spring, song-leader in woods, chorally resonant;
Spring, flower-planter in meadows,
Child-conductor in willowy
Fields deep dotted with bloom, daisies and crocuses:
Here that child from his heart drinks [...]
