The Day Ends

islands beckon me
shadows on the horizon
as I drift westward

Dark

I taste the poison
passionate uncertainty
blackening my heart

I submit to death
a lover in the darkness
with a cold embrace

I am born once more
roused by immortal fingers
caressing my flesh

Equinox

the accord is struck
night and day agree on terms
Spring may come again

Tides

the relentless tides
lovers are drowned in their waves
and turned into sand

we watch the last star falling

what pity is there
for this melancholy isle
save the songs we sing

Marching

Spring be the goddess
who leads me from the winter
to the risen sun

Spring

this virgin spring
waiting for her first embrace,
her lover, the sun

Silence

the birds are silent
for they are party to things
we will never know

Lost

the last hours are lost
gone too the dreams that filled them
shattered in waking

Entreaty

desires unending
an insanity of mind
demanded by blood
