Sub Rosa. Hidden in the shadows,Half-noticed,Unspoken,Unmentioned.Misheard.The truth lies. There, where you cannot seeAmong the rootsIn the grassUnder the earth,Asleep.The truth sleeps. In the thornsIn the leavesAmong the flowersIn the moonbeams,In the treesThe truth hides. In the heartsUnder lock and key,In the memoriesIn whispers.In the glancesThe truth dies. Sharper than swords,Colder than ice,Hotter than fire,Finer thanContinue reading “Sub Rosa”

Godspouse/Wedding rock
Be my eyes, be the wind.Tame it, ride it.Be my wings, light undimmedSpread them, find me. Be my breath, be my stars,Touch the sky, break it.Be my fire, till it lasts,Light the night, burn it. Be my love, be my storm,Live it, take it –Be my sky, crown of thorns,Bleed it, wear it. Be theContinue reading “Godspouse/Wedding rock”
Godspouse /Just ask
Whatever you need – just ask. Whenever you need – just call. That is what being mine means. That is what being mine brings. When you are in doubt, call. When you are in pain, ask. That is what being mine means, That is what being mine does. My wings are your wings, know. YourContinue reading “Godspouse /Just ask”
Beyond the woods
Beyond the woods I will look for you, beyond the woods of memory, pain and regret. Beyond the woods I will search, tirelessly, endlessly, hopelessly. Beyond the woods of doubts, fears and sighs. Beyond the woods I will wander, in the dark, in the mists, in the shadows. Beyond the woods of forgotten tales, songsContinue reading “Beyond the woods”
Call me Gwyn
I have many faces and many names. I have lived so many lives, I walked many roads. I have been a multitude of shapes, I have worn many a guise. Call me Gwyn. My eyes have seen so much, my voice has sung many songs. I have told many a tale, I have fought manyContinue reading “Call me Gwyn”
You came here once…
Once, a long time ago, you came. Into my realm you’ve ventured without even noticing. Just once – for a mere moment, do you recall?.. Once, a long time ago, you came. Young as the spring, but a lass, with flowers in your hair, you came. Just once – when the world was still freshContinue reading “You came here once…”
For I am the King
Whatever happens,For whatever reason,Happens in its turn. Whatever does not come,For whatever reason,Is not meant for you. Whatever leaves,For whatever reason,Leaves for good Whatever comes,For whatever reason,Comes when it’s time. Nothing on earthExists with no purpose,Nothing breathes. Nothing on earthIs of no value –Even dust. Nothing on earthStays hidden for long-Even thoughts. Nothing on earthIsContinue reading “For I am the King”
There stands he
…and everywhere I go,You greet me.…and everywhere I look,You are. Shining, like a golden flame,A blaze on the horizon:There my lord stands,His hair – brightest fire. No Lord rivals him,His courage untamed.No king stands in his presence,For he is the king of Annwfn. Merciful and strong, His nobility precedes him, There stands he, He whoContinue reading “There stands he”
From the depths
From the depths of Annwfn I shall gather my strength, From the shining gods and the mighty dead Of the clouds and the mists I will be reborn. Deep are the waters of Annwfn Deep are the thoughts of the gods Rolling in the deep are the songs Of the long-gone The roads of theContinue reading “From the depths”
I sing to the Fair ones
I sing praise to the Fair folk, To the Tylwyth Teg, To the infinite ones. I sing praise to the One Who governs the mists, The hidden one. I sing praise to the Wise ones, To the ancient and bright, To the gracious. I sing praise to the King of old, Clad in silver andContinue reading “I sing to the Fair ones”
