A LOVE LETTER TO THE DARK GODDESS: new poem
Updated: Mar 17, 2020
Your breed of wild
makes winter roses bloom
uncovers enchanted fairytale diadems
beneath lichen-kissed standing stones
Your wild magic
found under the darkling sky
when stars whisper secrets
and splintered bones
breathe a belly deep sigh
as their seeds sprout new life
as the world quietens
hourglass vanishes grains of sand
becoming diamond snowflakes instead
creatures tiptoe
so as to slip through
the threshold to those
mysterious places
found in the fluttering of your lashes
and the echo of your song
Your caliginous form is more exquisite
than sunlight sparkling gold
hauntingly potent witching
a lullaby for lost souls
