Beneath My Tree

And through water
I’ll walk to thee
Just to see you
Beneath my tree

And through fire
I’ll come to thee
To be with you
Beneath my tree

And through earth
I’ll crawl to thee
To meet with you
Beneath my tree

And through air
I’ll fall to thee
Always with you
Beneath my tree

And in spirit
We shall be
Heart to heart
Beneath my tree

My Dark Lover

He beckons to me
My Dark Lover
In secret whispers
And hidden sighs
Come to me
My broken beauty
Dance with me
On shattered lives
His voice is deep
And full of longing
Like sunset light
Among darkened trees
Fingers reaching
Pale shards of bone
Piercing skin
Like tattered leaves
And I lay wrapped
In his silken blackness
Parted lips wait
To breathe their last
Till teasing smiles
Crack me open
Silvered tears
Break my fast
And I sigh
One long breath out
A holy prayer
To he who waits
For me to grasp
His outstretched hand
And dance the dance
Of Wyrd and Fate

About the poem

Soul Spirit

Touching you is like stroking sunshine
You fill my heart till it overflows
I take your hand and I feel like I’m flying
To wonder land I go

You smile and my world is lit up
Everything is brand new
I breathe you in and it seems like I’m dying
The world grows see through

To be part of you is all I could hope for
I never knew that you were so near
Beneath my skin, or am I under yours
We’re both right here

This brightness sparkles with me
I fade away and yet will never leave
This great expanse has always been my playground
See such webs we weave

When I leave the world crashes on me
I feel its weight like a note that’s out of tune
It’s all discords and I just feel like crying
Alone in my room

But I know that you’re always with me
I can reach out to you at any time
My heart is whole, shining out from within me
Heals this soul of mine
