Horned God – Green and Grey

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

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

Dionysus

Hear the call
Hear it rumble
Feel the call
And off we tumble
Venture up
Venture out
Into the hills
Scream and shout

Io Io Evohe
Dionysus rules this day
Io Io Evohe
Dionysus holds us in sway

The madness calls
We feel its hunger
The madness howls
We are the hunter
Frenzy comes
Frenzy rises
Through the trees
Dancing blinds us

Io Io Evohe
Dionysus rules this day
Io Io Evohe
Dionysus holds us in sway

We feel him near
We feel him with us
He is here
His fingers touch us
Passions rise
Bodies writhing
He pulls us up
Ecstatic High King

Io Io Evohe
Dionysus rules this day
Io Io Evohe
Dionysus holds us in sway
