Wake the witch Love.
Crippled and torn
For the nights spent forlorn
Which was the moon
Under which I was born?
Under the witch
Down in lakes gloom
Glassy eyed
And spider like
She plots her own demise
Sky turns all colors
as it births the moon
Whose light does not air
The treachery of green
Sleeping despair
Her hand clasps a scepter
White knuckled and bent
Rusted and weathered
for her to lament
Boats pass over like clouds
in the sky
Rudders cut like a knife
A prison eternal this life
Hope and longing she remembers
Like some kind of dream
Waters that sit lipid
Once came from a stream
She questions her teardrops
"This lake I have born?'
And suffered since knowing
On the bottom she dwells
She her own captive
How useless her spells!
Wake the witch love
Before Winters dark gull
And She'll rise like a queen
To Kingdoms fall
Icy waters forbidding
And the bottom swamp deep
1000 black days in waters so dark
No light to guide one such a fool
"No breaths could hold me"
She tells the roots of the trees
the deep plants, rotten wood
And disease
To the little fishes She tells a great tale
How someone had dreamed her
And believed in her hope
Just at that moment were
Raising dark sail
Crossing these oceans
Searching the depths for her veil
How it's time now for her to exhale
To give up last breath
the little fishes she hopes
Will tell all the whales
forgetting her own words in time out at sea
story to return as a whisper
Upon her ghostly ear
she will remember hope and
not fear
Sunlight and fever
Mighty crown made of fire
Earth tones and moon light
Winds lifting sails like desires
Loneliness only knowing
What it is to never be alone
The Heavens to see!
Her salamanders read thought
as they suckle her flesh
that does rot
they tell her "Don't be such a fool"
"you belong here, in the din, dark, and the cool
You are no sleeping beauty
With spinning wheel spool
no finger to prick
for dreaming red blood
No handsome young prince
No knight -no savior
No wishes - no dreams
Or hopes tortured glimmer
Only mud heaps, dead leaves
And green depths simmer"
" Your wanting a question
worthy to speak
But words held fast
Deep in your chest
Find no escape holding tight to your
Breast"
" In air so conformed
And riddles so torn
To exhale a question
finally, to sleep in death
Your lacking the courage
believing no answer could hold you
As you do
Your last breath!"
