woe the great hide rises
while the great one dies

day of another

awake sweet fascination
shake the shackle of this slumber
let the crown of constellations
ride upon your mantled head
tiara of mystery
princess of darkness

let thy breath decree excess
of surly want and lick the lips
of tender lust
the blood fast
the smouldering ruin of
bridges
archs of cascade
the fire drips
like hot life

oh how we delve this hot
famine in succulent
prurience

"vous etes doux"

bathing atrocious in slick abandon.....

creatures of the dark arise
when the moon rides full
hungry and driven mad
by the lunar cycle
a blood fast to make
their hunt pure

they give complete
"burning bridges"
an early exploration not
yet written about how the
tender youthling becomes
the new member of the
troupe Giving innocence
and pure life via "blood"
dripping as in the gorge
of drinking
feasting luscious

(This poem is for "P" whom
I owe everything..)

its latin for those young one of mans original language footprints
to know how rare this is I have only known a small handful of
people that could actually speak this In its day it was the "English"
of todays 2012 world For the record I do not believe in Vampires
although I did read much and follow the spirit worship world
in my shed outside this home I have a witchcraft book from 2000
that for personal reasons I have to perform a rite up at night on
duchene creek to remove a spell put on me twenty three years ago
It involves burning this book..the reversal of burning the bible
unless...................................I reread the books and awaken something
with my Viking Pagan past..a gift that I did inherit through birth

I wrote this because there are rituals in spring not just for christians
but for the secret worlds and realms also The awakening!
my "P" awoke me from the slumber while bridges where collapsing
and in my country on my land everything is coming back to life
from the long sleep of winter......

Thanks Tommi!
I find your writing fascinating
Im not actually going to burn any book
although in the past I have found burned
bibles up on the trail by the creek
a private and rather interesting
little place travelled and visited by many
on the outskirts of our city

I try to write in a different style
so my own voice is mine

Opening paragraph is about the moon
the hide rises..Just the skin of sun
shinning stretched on the moon
The great One dying
the sun giving way to death
the night

poetry is great!
I know wiccans

Thank Y ou

I picked up on your referneces immediately and i too enjoy touching uncomfortable topics with the beauty of prose...again this held a specific meaning to me personally the burning bridge also hold a lot of meaning and can be sewn to the soul in many stitches. the way it moves in with the natural order of life as well was intriguing. :)

I guarantee you
none will understand,
your stand
as they of their own
have no such poetic band
as your mind conveys
through your computerised hand
without your explanation
I wonder who would hold my hand

loved

a simple quandry of a conscience..very nice

There you go again letting me into another world, where do you find these words maybe I will get the Witches Bible out we have here, and give it a search lol.

The poetry or verse here is lovely in its depth but that is using others words to talk about things.
You burning a book now that would be archaic to say the least, I would rather send you a branch from a tree than hear that you had done that,lol
The sleepers from the depth of Hades to the simple spies of the 60's none should be awakened but we must be told how they work and that they are real, in one way or another.
Tell a child that the bogeyman is there and there you have created a fear, now tell me about those creatures from your mind, or your old books, and I fear to move, I am going into my dark room till the new moon arises and the clear night air can sing songs of the nightingale once more,
Yours Ian
