Spark

Deep down beneath the floorboards of my soul
Intangible lives
In a place where the softness
Of a thousand tears longs to kiss your naked feet

In each breathing crevice of my being
Light resides
Its splendor dances, mirrored in the hundred polished shields
Left behind by unnamed warriors

Playing somewhere beyond the grasp of your imagination
The child I will never be
laughs her music into the the folds of my newly unlocked heart
She dares you to wander the burnished path

The one that threatens to trip you as it winds
between the barbed wire of sorrow
And the mossy gardens of gleeful fairies
And once haunted places

Marked by piles of worried stone
All the walls are falling down to greet the water
To kneel and worship at the river’s edge
Her rushing sweetness sings forgiveness
Transforming lost things to found memory
Leading your mind in all directions at once

A sudden thunder of bird wings
A wind of countless arrows above
For a moment you are lost to the dream
And you are blind
Still determined
Down the stairs you stumble
Unable to surrender to anything but curiosity

Tapping on spirit doors
Rattling the casements of my soul
Moving all my furniture
Rolling back the rugs

Shouting a name you hope I will answer to
Frantic now in your desire to see my essence
Who I am and how I bleed
What is the crux of my happiness

If you stop scrying so hard
Cease your pushing, pulling and stabbing at the shadows
Embrace this stillness
That coats the very center of the beast

Like the resonance of snow
Or a hymn sung by feathers falling on your skin
In the pure hushed and purple quiet
You’ll find what you didn't know you were looking for
And yet, exactly what you wanted

In the cradle of the darkest, darkest dark
Shining moonlit like a pearl
A glowing ruby dwells at the core eternal
A spark pirouetting and leaping

Fueled by you
And each who passes nearest my heart
Rooms for those I've held most precious
And sometimes even strangers who have wandered in

Touched me in a chance exchange
And left a permanent mark, unaware
That brief bright spark would become a torch
Lighting the way
Eviscerating even the blackest pitch, the most indiscernible path

The convergence of sparks bubbles upward
Miniature stars bursting in the fountain’s crest
Pouring out my eyes, lifting my smile
They stream from my fingertips when I open my arms
To encircle your weary body

Each point on my crown becomes an inextinguishable ember
Fueled by every interaction
Of love and regret
Of hunger and joy

Illuminations that come from many
Flow through me inside and out
They change and reinforce who I am
The source of inspiration
The definition of purpose
An intricate dance of satisfaction and need

But this spark I hold in my hand, just now
Is the moment we met
This dazzling brightness perched on my shoulder
Is one of many times
we have shared our desire

This flickering ember in the crook of my arm
Is the piece of me that misses your face
Your arms, your sex,
The warm, rich rumble
Of your voice when my name departs your mouth



I’m fondest of this spark
Which embodies this longing
It remains even when we are pressed close
Blissfully drowning
Fingers lacing, a net
Fishing in the wildness of our personal ocean

A reminder that everything is fleeting
Except the spark

Hymn to Leucothea

4/20/2013

3 Comments

 
Haven't posted anything new in a while. Been writing, not posting. I think this one is just about finished. Leucothea is an ancient sea goddess and protector of sailors. You can see her dance in the sea foam.
Picture
In this little boat, alone; rocked by the storm
Unfurling my heart keeps my torn body warm
Folding my sorrow; a sail for tomorrow
When night clears, moonlight will guide the wise way to go

Stars crown a tower that serves as a lighthouse
Darkness, she covers me, keeps the cruel winds down
Buffered, yet weathered, still fishing for destiny
Deep in my hold, treasures of hope, love and dreams

CH- And she follows me everywhere I need to be
In my loneliness, never alone
She attends me in my longing and desire
I have no doubt I am loved
The moon and the sea carrying me
So that I always know I am home


Sweet Leucothea, her foam forms my cradle
Timeless Mother, keeping an eternal candle
So I'll not be blinded in the darkest of depths
When flashing blades slice me, I’m soon healed by her kiss

My passage to venture, my answers to forge
My temple to build, my waters to pour
Questing afar from human comfort or friend
Moonlight companions; fox, blackbird and bat

CH- And she follows me everywhere I need to be
In my loneliness, never alone
She attends me in my longing and desire
I have no doubt I am loved
The moon and the sea carrying me
So that I always know I am home


I'll ferry the loneliness, longing, despair
I'll knot bones and feathers and tears in my hair
I'll sing in the darkness ‘til sun beams the shore
Finding soft sand there, sharp cliffs or cavernous door

Experience. Teacher. Wisdom bleeds from misery, 
Joy blooms in the unknown, next note an uncertainty
Each journey the same.and every voyage unique.
Each answer a question, no knowledge complete

CH-And she follows me everywhere I need to be
In my loneliness, never alone
She attends me in my longing and desire
I have no doubt I am loved
The moon and the sea carrying me
So that I always know I am home


And so on I go on my continuous loop
Some days appear different, some play out the same truth
I've sailed here before under this glorious moon
I've stood on that precipice and  howled at the gloom


'Til numinous moths raised a wind at my back
In dusty clouds, lent their wings to me, opened the crack
That always leads to beyond, spirals into my soul
Sailing back in a boat of light, new seas to roam

CH-And she follows me everywhere I need to be
In my loneliness, never alone
She attends me in my longing and desire
I have no doubt I am loved
The moon and the sea carrying me
So that I always know I am home


I always know I am home



White Goddess Protecting Me
Proud Ino she carries me
I have no doubt I am loved

So you think you can be the captain of this ship
Can you keep her from running 'ground
Turn One Hundred eighty degrees on a dime
Yeah can you turn this ship around

You want to be the captain of this ship
Can you keep her 'right in the stormiest of seas
Will you save her from the monsters ‘neath the waves
Resist the siren call of the deep

Oh you want to be the apple of my eye
So you scaled my garden wall
Then you smiled just  like a dragon and a dove
And you promised me you’ll catch me when I fall

Now you want to be the master of this heart
And you’swear you'll tame the wildness , trim the thorns 
I may wear a crown but I long to sleep
In the arms of the one the one who wears the horns

Then perhaps  it's time you know the mystery
We’re each only the bearers of our souls 
There’s no mastery to walking by my side
Each flame lights the other we are whole

So when you choose to share the journey of this heart
You’ll love the roses all the more for their thorns
I may wear a crown but I long to sleep
In the arms of the one who wears the horns



I may wear a crown but I long to sleep 
In the arms of the one who wears the horns

The One True

There is beauty and strength in an injured soul. True love can find you no matter how you might try to hide from it. That is what I believe. I have seen it with my own eyes!









Somehow you shine your own light while you wrap yourself in night
So no one will see you are the mirror of the sun
That ruby that i found cradled deep underground
Makes me ponder off and on, have I found the one

The one true song, that Perfect note
When it comes out wrong, it's so full of hope
That one blue day I've been scrying for
In the night I have prayed for an open door

Somehow I stumbled and I learned just how to fall on broken glass
Get up and take a bow, see how I''m dancing once again
As black as you may seem you are far from an abyss
And I can tell you this because of the depths that I have seen

Well I hardly know you know, but I think that will change soon now
Maybe I have always known you, perhaps we have always been

That one true song, that Perfect note
When it comes out wrong, it's so full of hope
That one blue day I've been scrying for
In the night I have prayed for an open door

Damage has been done more or less to everyone
Who's had it worse who's pain is lesser who am I to say
I'm sorry for your loss but you don't have to bear that cross
You don't have to face the music, you don't have to make my day

Hey, just ask for what you want and if it's me  that you have sought
Maybe we will dance together, try on each other's wings and play

That one true song, that Perfect note
When it comes out wrong, it's so full of hope
That one blue day I've been scrying for
In the night I have prayed for an open door

And the mystery is fine, I don't have to know the next line
If I'll be yours or if you're mine
I've put this feather in my heart, I'll hold my song out to the dark
And if I must go on searching, I will not be afraid, no I will not be afraid

The mystery is fine, I don't need to guess the next line
I've wrong too many times
I've put this feather in my heart, I'll hold my song out to the dark
And when I see that open door, I will not be afraid, i will not hesitate

Fury of Love

12/20/2011

So, this is one I am trying to recover from memory....
Due to financial hardship, I've lost most of my possessions during the past year and sadly, this included a lot of my writing and equipment and recordings. Unlike the furniture that will be auctioned off, personal irreplaceable items are usually callously destroyed or thrown out despite the storage company reportedly requesting personal items be left with them.

I'm finding that I remember at least the bones of a lot of the things I've written & maybe some of them will improve in the re-writing. Anyway, at least I can "save" them here. 

Consider these works in progres

Fury of Love


Take me away from my mother she cried and this boy that’s fallen at my feet
I see a new man like a tower seems strong, yet he bends in the wind like a tree
One look and deep I was drowning in blue eyes down in the wake of your love
To side step romance was a dangerous dance, but I would never want to harm....
You...Or throw a stone at your charm
‘cause it makes me want to believe there’s still some good in this world

There are no answers to feed the fury of love
There is no message that exceeds the fury of love
You give only to receive the fury of love
You would give anything to feel the fury of love

Take me away from this desert you cried and this night that's fallen upon me
I see a woman with her hands full of stars
And  she swims like a fish in the sea
Gone with you I was drowning in blue eyes
Lost in the wave of your arms
One kiss from you and my magic was yours, Know I could never mean to harm....
You...How could I throw a stone at your charm
‘cause it makes me want to believe you're still as good as your word

There are no answers to feed the fury of love
There is no message that exceeds the fury of love
You give only to receive the fury of love
You would give anything to feel the fury of love

So is the candle out When I see you today
Shut in your box of steel A dead giveaway
You blank out your eyes and treat me like a woman in love
You make me listen to the music when enough is too much

And  nowhere I could be  is far enough between me and what I feel
Don't put it off anpther night 
If I'm to lose my mind
(nothing else matters tonight)
Let it be in your arms

There are no answers to feed the fury of love
There is no message that exceeds the fury of love
You give only to receive the fury of love
You would give anything to feel the fury of love

It's You

9/22/2011

One of my most favorite & personal pieces, It's You was originally recorded as an intense metal  ballad. It's magic seems to work so well as an acoustic piece or even with no accompaniment. It becomes more meaningful to me every time I perform it.
Picture
IT'S YOU

Take a walk by midnight
To see you dance upon the sea
Waves and waves crashing side by side
Against the stones of the black keep

I have no lantern to light my way
Only moonlight beckons me to stay
Put down your sword and let the anger leave you
This is the night I first believed in you

You carry magic You hold it in your hands
And where it comes from I don't know

As if I had, I had no choice
As if I had, I had no mind
Hand in the still to hush my voice
And cause my fears to fall behind
Its you

Tonight I hold my hands up high
Swallow the need for tears to cry
There is nothing up above you now child
Only more stars than you can count

You carry magic You hold it in your hands
And where it comes from now I know

As if I had, I had no choice
As if I had, I had no mind
Hand in the still to hush my voice
And cause my fears to fall behind

Its you
Its you
Its you
I know its you

Surrender

Still working on this one, but hey, it's new....well sort of, I actually started some of it after a dream I had a few months ago. For part of it I was separated from someone by a thick glass door. He had the key, but was afraid to use it. And for part of it, I was like Psyche completing one impossible task after another in hopes that I would be allowed to let him out. (And so, I've dedicated to Eris AND Aphrodite, who are in cahoots AND Psyche too; what de heck!)


I believe in synchronicity
All around me serendipity
I believe in the wide and deep of dreams

If I can't see you for the trees
I still know you're there (I can feel you there)

wish, wish, my command
trial by fire and the velvet hand
It takes me where I need to go
And tells me what I need to know

I believe in the now of the distant past
Because everything is meant to last
I believe in the truth of arrows sure and fast

If I can't measure to the task
I'll try another day (to rise above the fray)

push, push and so I bow
and bend as deep as is allowed
And if I should sweep your floors
I'm sure to find a door

And what is this all about
Am I in it or with out
Are we even here

What was I fighting for
Does it have to be either or
And why must I decide

I believe in the beauty of eternal dance
And that things are better left to chance
And the chaos I embrace brings order once again 

So if I seem without a plan
I can see the path (even if I can't find the way back)

Love, Love is everywhere
Even when it seems that it's nowhere
There is still the sun
And there are numbers more than one

And what is this all about
Am I in it or with out
Are we even here

What was I fighting for
Does it have to be either or
And why must I decide

Like a rose without a name
That sweet scent it is the same
sweet surrender, surrender

So If by chance you come to me
And we may change what we believe
and won't remember

We can just surrender, surrender, sweet surrender

The Balance to Grief

7/28/2011

So grief cannot haunt you
If you wear joy on your sleeve
Sorrow silver as a moonbeam
Your smile a pocket of relief

A damper for the color or
The voice a notch too loud
Your laugh a beam of light
Around the edges of my cloud

Even in the still of sadness
The bright wonder revels
For one cannot appreciate one less
The other in contrast spills

Across the page of life birth and growth and cost
Make each a bit more precious so nothing is truly lost

Your laugh forever dances in the reaches of my mind
And the missing of it tugs upon my heart all through my time

Even as I let you go
I hold you tightly still
You’ll weave among my dreams and so
You will be immortal

Mysteries....

This might be just a short poem or I may develop it into a lyric. I like it as it lies for now.

Mysteries

Who knows where the story’s going
Oh will she find the key?
Blossoming, breathing
In my unfolding
I capture the words then set them free

Into the journey’s telling
Set your mind upon the path
hang on every whisper
Feel it swirling
The tale unwinds a spell is cast
