lasses

honeysuckle rose filled breaming with taboo feelings
after all this time I linger, I languish
mesmerized by your charm
I ache with longing for your touch or even a gaze

your stoic strength calls me from the sidelines
I raise to challenge you like the other women
but your eyes command me don't

you long for the honesty of me and that makes me fear
I've given you beautiful sons violence, pain, chaos and loki
children of hope they wave your pirate flag

I have purified my ritual I won't succumb
you see to bring out the devil in me
my sincerity melancholy wonder if you notice her and indigo sadness
shyly hanging back waiting to show you their dance recital
they are the best of us sunshine on a grey day

singing off key notes from their bereft hearts
whispering to you in the ancient pagan tongue
they are shield maidens of faith after the viking way
shapeshifting in the energy pure of affection

with their lamps burning bright they off mustard seeds and lavender
they are love they are sure and wish your voyage is profitable
ladies in waiting adorning their sister with daisy chains
