Another piece of the puzzle
Put it all together
Clear as water
Float
Float away

Prehistoric

Rolling webs
breathing spiders' prey
Crushing stars
with the atoms from below
Bitten hands
catching clouds so low
Nesting birds
on the dusty cresting beams
of the sun
of the sun

Fairie Queen

Hair of gold
Will of steel
Daughter of Queen Anne
A learned lady loved by those
she ruled with a hand
fair and wise
fair and wise
Fate would be a palace
though a life lived in rooms
Her stately gait and royal blood
grew a cult of sycophants
Fairie Queen
Fairie Queen
Echos of a footstep
through the palace halls
Reason or treason
friend or foe
It's the chance you take
or fall
Fairie Queen
Fairie Queen
Fey!
Fairie Queen

Wilting sacred flower
fading to my grave
Flame lit ceremonial
sacrificial pain
Take this tree
and all its bark
Autumn's garment flows
White hot love
loses heart
on the forest floor
Wilting sacred flower
fading to my grave
Flame lit ceremonial
sacrificial pain
Take this tree
and all its bark
Autumn's garment flows
White hot love
loses heart
farewell forest home

Spring Won't Wait

Spring is coming
don't know how I feel
to lose the blanket of my winter
ease into the year
Time is rushing forward
nature will renew
with crocuses and daffodils
they won't wait for you
to shed your layers
expose your skin again
to shed your layers
expose your skin again

This is our last time around
on our carousel
of blazing hearts
Me on my painted horse
You in your chariot
of red and gold
spinning round
I was your queen of frozen rainbows
You, my king of quiet stars
Oh how we danced and laughed
our shadows in the sand
with mermaid
of teal oceans
Our field of wild flowers
with grass so high
we passed the hours
now lies barren
in the dark
in the dark
in the dark
Now it's time to return
Become who we were
Shed these skins
return to innocence
Shed these skins
return to innocence

Forever

In the dawn of the night
We make things all right
together
together
There is no black and white
Only shades of grey
float between us
between us
So much left unsaid
till we meet again
on the other side
the other side
There is no rest in peace
There is no rest in peace
only play and joy
in the afterlife
the afterlife
Together
Forever
Together
Forever

I am everywhere
but nowhere
I am in the abstract
a haze of mind at sunset
Speeding through the night
I am spectral light
with fire and jewels
a solitary arrow
Incorporeal
Intangible
Invincible
Ethereal
Ethereal
Fragments at the gate
Charred wood
We're led astray
The unborn soul
is the astral warrior
For I am everywhere
but nowhere
I am in the abstract
a haze of mind at sunset
Speeding through the night
I am spectral light
with fire and jewels
a solitary arrow
Incorporeal
Intangible
Invincible
Ethereal
Ethereal

Sugar Skull

All Hallow's Eve
then a gift for the departed
Marigolds and dolls for the dead
A bottle of tequila
then all of us were dead
and dancing in the plaza of light
Down the river
we rode upon the butterfly
with the sweet taste of sugar
on our lips
