Stellar Queen
On a lonely hill of green Sat a strange and dream-like Queen She felt she'd come from lands afar She reasoned that she ruled the stars And every night she'd sit and stare Into the void of almost there Waiting for a fateful sign Whispering 'They all are mine' And there she sat while seasons changed The wheel it turned and rearranged the tiny points of light above And still she thought it was her love Her people dared not ask her why She spent her nights up in the sky They wondered if she'd ever leave her fragile world of make-believe All dressed in white, her golden hair Grew long and tangled through the year Her once grand clothes they turned to grey And yet she's stay and softly say I am the Queen of Gemini Lyra, Leo, way up high is in my reign of outstretched arms and in-between my upturned palms And so it seemed her fate was sealed The fabric of her world had peeled away to leave a hardened core and who could guess at what she saw So time rolled on and gathered dust Her shining eyes they turned to rust And when she could no longer see She sighed and set the heavens free And one by one the stars they fell Freed from their immortal cell Streaks of life that came to ground So gracefully without a sound Their Queen was dead and gone away They had no reason now to stay Her people wept and wondered why They slept beneath a darkened sky Firesong
Crackle, snackle, fire and wood Burning fast, it warms the blood Buckshots in the evening light From deep within this daemon’s heart Golden eyes that flare at me Bare my soul’s eternity If I stare long enough, I might just melt away and fall apart |
The Island
Corner me a piece of light And spread it out to dry Turn it backwards for the night And pin it to the sky Create a world of island lore that dreams of larger times Imagine miles of silver shore Of many coves and chines A Celtic kiss above the sea A place where ancient kings lie easy for eternity And sailors stretch their wings Show me where the lightning turns Into a needles eye Where moonlit waters slowly churn Where painted devils fly And in amongst the grass and ground The smaller souls do creep Their end comes swift without a sound A flash of red so sleek Take all of this and hide it neat away and out of sight A tiny universe, complete This lady, dressed in white Come Follow Me
Come follow me into the night Along the dark and ancient ways Where memories and dreams take flight And dance into forgotten days Come take my hand and walk with me While all around the starlight sings And look upon the open sea How silently the world begins I Dreamt
I dreamt of kings and angel wings That danced across the hours Softly sighing, gently dying Sweetly it devours Through the mists and faerie twists I weave my tiger tears Into the never, tightly tether Deep as morning nears |
