A witch to her familiar did speak
"Oh what big and webby feet!"
Replieth he, the familiar duck,
"and that's not all, my witch, let's fuck."
"You're such a beast!"
"Thou thinketh I tease?"
"Demonic Drake."
"Goddess awake."
A circle drawn with powdered chalk.
The moon drawn down with ancient talk.
On an altar of grass, in the sacred space,
the athame enters the chalice with grace.
And later, despite
an exhausting night,
they still made it to Eve's
All-Hallows Feast.
Naked, standing, hair loose down her back,
She smiles in warm sea-scented alcove.
Through open windows like seasoned spirits,
Argentine waves, horizontal and vaporous,
All Hallow's Eve howls haunted moonlight
Enters and spreads, palpitates and lives
Enters and breaks over enthralling beams,
Brightens reflections of blood-stained lips
On tarnished mirrors and crystal chandeliers.
It trembles, almost gasps for breath, slides
Through the floor, unravels -- and lightens,
A dawdling languid billow of drifting mist,
Kisses smoothness of her smallest of feet,
White, ghastly, rises up her leg, longingly,
Ghostly, rises, -- and wondrous coil describes
Then envelopes curvaceous hip -- proceeds to
Licks her womb, embrace her slender waist,and
Nibble on the tumid peeks of her nubile breasts
It rustles lust upon her shoulder blades,
Wraps around her neck, lovingly tastes her mouth.
Before it dissipates along the darkness
And the salacious night of her black hair,
Halts, mystified, before the glitter of her eyes.
Twilight falls and I grow hungry for you,
hurrying through necessity and ritual.
Candles glow desperate amber
and shadows stalk impatiently teased by desire.
I have no will against you and so must follow suit.
It is how you first found with me, in-between incantation and ancient music slipping into me as a dream.
I thought the wind stirred the door,
bringing oxygen to the fireplace
brightening the light,
swirling the heat on a cool October
but it was you.
Auburn hair flowed around you ignited by candlelight.
On fire you came to me, burning into my flesh
as a perfect willow of my need
that wraps around the secrets,
that pour from me and pool into you.
Once purified I can touch you without the pleasurable-pain.
You caress me, soothing my ache
promising to heal my wounds with your magic
pushing my hand between your thighs I believe you
and we join through the night.
It is before dawn, before the sun that you leave.
Your body growing warm against my skin,
reminding me of what I need.
You come to me each night in October
a willow of my need
on fire to purify me
to thank me.
Wonderful necklace.
We do the dance of charming silver,
identifying each other,
by response and nuance .
Finally tentative smile,
Realizing positively,
what was suspected all the while.
Merry meet , sister,
Merry meet brother,
Shaking hands, fingers touching pulses,
smiling into another set of knowing eyes,
that have seen sky clad dancers
under stars, surrounding bonfires.
We order coffee,
sharing in this chance meeting,
We sing the song out loud,
that we have been following
How long have you ?
Oh me well, seems like forever,
but I didn't know what it was until .
Ah you echo my story ,
following me in this song,.
Coffee last dregs from the pot.
Conversation draws to close.
Plan for tea with crones.
Another dance under the moon.
She slinks from behind the old dogwood tree,
Cobalt eyes peircing me,
Agate amulet hanging upon her bosom,
She grasps it and whispers beneath her breath,
"Trust in me, fore I am true. Lean upon me, fore I am strong."
She opened a small pewter box
Blew it's contents at me,
And in that breath she was gone.
Only traces of aromatic jojoba left in the chilling air,
Wind tickling my back - my playful goddess.
The leaves and wind form a cyclonic spiral before me,
Dies down just as it came and a gentle breeze carresses me
No longer feeling so alone under this bloodmoon,
On our riteful sabbat, Samhain.
come to me in my Black Woods
where we can get lost in us
we'll shed our inhibitions
like autumn leaves of rust
stand me golden and naked
as naked as the birch will be
twirl me around like a falling leaf
I want your eyes on me
float me to the mossy ground.
and make sweet love to me
I promise a trail of bread crumbs
to return to reality
unless you choose to stay lost
in our woodland fantasy
