with just such a kiss again

 

 

 

"....unwished for or wished for, there is only longing for itself...

 

forever and ever attempting to define and imagine itself."

-

Valentine

 

 

 

with....

 

 

 

arianrhod is wasting into darkness

 

the solar wind whispers into decline

 

 

 

what darkness is this that comes upon us

 

fugitive pilgrims worshipping the moon

 

always waning toward bright beginnings

 

waxing and waning, waning and waxing

 

pock-marked by times ceaseless tranquility

 

 

 

first frost has come,

 

silenced the hoary wind

 

slicked the surface,

 

stilled frenetic waters

 

 

 

winter ushers toward another yule

 

running waters crystallize and expand

 

shattering the fluid surface of things

 

forming nothingness, nothingness forming

 

itself into kaleidoscopic lust

 

 

 

 

 

amethyst amidst pine bows and holly

 

bayberry sweetens cranberry candles

 

 

 

entwining druids and christians as one

 

what sacrificial rite of the dark moon

 

wraps the holy infant of the ages

 

refining suffering, suffering refining

 

cradle into cross, sword into chalice

 

 

 

 

 

the darkness of yule,

 

northern glimmerings

 

crackling the snowy hearth,

 

a sapphire log

 

 

 

what oil feeds the cobalt flame of midnight

 

dissolves blue ice into liquidity

 

what alloy reconciles memory and dream

 

fugitive moments, moments fugitive

 

dances snowflakes in the still winter's wind

 

just....

 

 

 

what holly king arising shines brightly

 

with naked feet cracks fragile surfaces

 

 

 

 

 

with its first sweet breath innocence crying

 

shatters the galactic silence beyond stars

 

makes legions of roman bent trumpets choir

 

stars cascading love, love cascading stars

 

shout the return of lost divinity

 

 

 

 

 

beyond true north,

 

behind all that glimmers

 

a new gathering,

 

greatness yet to come

 

 

 

in defeat we discover victory

 

death marching into the dead of winter

 

silently we lurch through the trackless snow

 

silver seeking gold, gold seeking silver

 

shadows journeying into a dark moon

 

 

 

slinking deep into dark liquidity

 

heart of hearts, arianrhod' s purple womb

 

 

 

inside the dungeons of a dark goddess

 

a perpetual flame in a purple orb

 

beneath the blue ice, beneath black water

 

beyond that within, within that beyond

 

is the face of the one without a name

 

 

 

out of darkness,

 

redemption emerges

 

golden dancing,

 

shivers silver waters

 

 

 

come with me into this still snow garden

 

where the white wolfe relentlessly keeps watch

 

faithlessly faithless to the unfaithful

 

devouring all, all devouring

 

he watches over the indigo flame

 

 

 

such...

 

 

 

how this empress soars to bear us a king

 

maiden, mother, queen, ancient beyond ages

 

 

 

he remembers her when all was darkness

 

he will stand with her when all becomes light

 

faithful to she who remains without faith

 

nurturing all, all nurturing

 

she is the liquid fire in his gold eyes

 

 

 

whose child hers,

 

hoverings on angel wings

 

not even arianrhod,

 

dare us tell

 

 

 

ask if you must ask, ask of the white wolfe

 

he will answer you contemptuously

 

with silent paws over frozen waters

 

silently follow, follow silently

 

aimlessly as a snowflake in the wind

 

 

 

bitter candles and sweetest bayberry

 

the dark amethyst kiss of mistletoe

 

 

 

divinity is kaliescopic

 

nothingness forming, forming nothingness

 

shattering creation's fluid surface

 

waters crystallize, freeze, crack and then melt

 

snows vaporize into transparency

 

 

 

frenetic waters lurk,

 

beneath still ice

 

out of hoary silence,

 

a snowflake falls

 

 

 

a crystal moment of tranquility

 

melting and freezing, freezing and melting

 

ever melting toward some clear ending

 

as prodigals we cannot return home

 

what is this brightness that beckons to us

 

 

 

a....

 

 

 

a sun whispers to its beloved moon

 

darkly fertility comes upon us

 

 

 

darkly two immortal lovers embrace

 

 

 

merlyn kisses nimue's purple lips

 

arianrhod is pregnant once again

 

 

 

a rough king cries again in bethlehem

 

 

 

with just such a dying as that,

 

dark one

 

we kiss always to begin once again

 

 

 

with just such a birth as that,

 

beloved

 

we cry always to laugh yet once

again

 

 

 

kiss....

 

 

 

again,

 

we kiss
