Nightmare/Flowers/Lleu
Sometimes I feel so exhaustedI want to stop trying.My days are all glory,But nights are all done for.Old wounds are still bleedingIn dreamsI am still being hunted. When I close my eyes,There is nothing but flowers.They crowd me,They climb over me.I’m drowning in themEvery night.Blodeuwedd. Your flowers will kill meOne night,Of this I am certain.YourContinue reading “Nightmare/Flowers/Lleu”
The Goddess
Dark is the skin of the Earth goddess. Finer than silks, shimmering like diamonds in the snow, golden glow filling each pore. Dark is her hair, all ebony and mahogany, sloe berries and richest earth. Dark are her lips, sweeter than cherries, blood red and moist, her teeth – whiter than the whitest dove. DarkContinue reading “The Goddess”
Arianrhod
Arianrhod loves cider,And juniper berries, and sea,At night, she can sit by the hourSinging the stars to sleep. Arianrhod is proud,Her hair like the rippling stream,Inside her, an ocean of doubtAnd never a trace of dream. Arianrhod is lonely,She’s good at the spinning wheel,She’s quiet; and sighing softly,She wishes her words could kill. Arianrhod hasContinue reading “Arianrhod”

To the Lord of Hunt –My oath,To the kingContinue reading “There, beyond”
As if
Sometimes I would catch herStaring silentlyInto the void,As if Asgard never mattered. Sometimes I would find herClose to the edgeOf the world,As if Volkvangr never existed. Sometimes I would hear herSinging to the wavesAt dawn,As if her soul was dying of grief. Sometimes I would come closerAnd hold herSoftly, yet firmly,As if that was everContinue reading “As if”
Son of the waves
She would steal in before dawn.Night would just settle in.White, as a moonlit falconShe would glide in. Softly would feathers ruffle,Sliding off from her shoulders,Amber and gold,Snow and fire. She would whisper my name.Quietly, quietly,And it would be sweeterThan the mead of the Aesir. Still she would beIn my arms, till dawn,And her tears wouldContinue reading “Son of the waves”
