Riding the Crimson Sun (2007)
the now that is the you that I seek
destination unknown
flower without purpose defined
driving the sea of disenchantment
I ride the crimson sun
on a wave of liquid light
wherever it flows
hoping to find you at the end
of my soul you are the beginning
the meaning of my seed
my past my present
my every waking moment
I ride the crimson sun
on a wave of liquid light
ever searching never ceasing
your love streams through my heart
thinking of you in evening's twilight
I become greater
than the sum of my parts
a rose amongst the bracken
I ride the crimson sun
on a wave of liquid light
flowing in my garden
to the now that is you
The Red Ritual
so long, setting sun
till morning when we meet again
cut the circle
light fires in the four corners
and break the fast
the ancient rite calls us
‘ere midnight’s past
carnal fire boils blood of man
entwined in the ritual of the night
finding oblivion in the sultry musk
of his glistening lover
bathed in silken light of the harvest moon
turn the cards
find the truth
weave the spell
ask the sooth
protect us in this secret place
and grant us our hearts desires
away from prying eyes
intoxicated by her soft jasmine scent
he finds the soul of the earth
naked on the grass of Avalon
Magician and Fool dance
the Priestess sings
its game of chance
and choice eternal
what future brings
her yearning gaze
those brown bottomless gems
defy his reason and sense
razing the conventions of the day
with a flaming vertigo
burn the candle
tie the knots
cure our anxious
mortal thoughts
of death and ruin
it’s a kind of love past lust
that fuels their union of mutual need
springing from desire, from hunger
the muse who sparks the seed of creation
and destruction of men
whisper her name
with a gentle kiss
for the last time
as night submits
to the sun’s tyranny
douse the flame
find the world anew
its relentless game
with knowledge true
that soon we’ll return
to night’s red ritual
An Ill Wind
an ill wind
blows off the sea
bringing ill fortune
your heart:
dashed on the rocks
by the stormy sea
frozen
by the icy gale
black clouds on the horizon
obscure the morning sun
darken your soul
your soul blind
to the morning sun
filled with black clouds
by the icy gale
your frozen heart
on the stormy sea
dashes
mine on the rocks
ill fortune
blows off the sea
on an ill wind
I’m not listening
Manipulation:
Control with your petty din
and delicate clanks.
Free flowing torrent,
speaking with purple crayons
beats silence senseless.
You mean it’s my fault.
It’s funny you should say that.
I’m not listening.
Where have you gone?
where have you gone
blue spark of my velvet night
leaving only emptiness and weakness
why have you gone
when I needed you most
leaving on the west wind
who can take your place
feed my flame
chase my ghosts
when will I find the chink
the door left ajar
that I might taste again your azure glow
how will I find the answers
without your guidance
and fiery love
where have you gone
where have you gone
