Under a hidden moon she rises
Stumbling through darkened rocky walkways
Hungering for lustful embraces and soothing words.
A pain, sharp insistent bowl of longing inside her chest
Makes her gasp for the dark air,
Reach to the blackened skies for release
From hysteria brought about by Luna.
Dark Diana and Glorious Pan,
she the unseen voyeur
Of graceful orgies the gods performed
Out of pure joy and love.
Vines of ivy and wisteria climb the paths she tries to walk
And find the tears her heart may block
From ears eager to listen
To cries of whispered love untouched
Amber eyes, a glowing crimson mote within
Forecast of balanced intrigue
A sadistic arousal, masochism play
Entwining embrace
She sings, she runs, she falls exhausted to
a cold wet ground
Staring at eyes not there,
In forests and glades that have disappeared,
Water falling no one bothered to tell her
Had been dammed by the branches of doubt,
Branches of self-consciousness, of fear.
Through blessings or favor of Divine,
Luna deems to shine
Her glorious fullness
upon this lady’s fair face
As she sits in dampened grass,
Crying tears of bliss
and longing.
Lightened her countenance
Her mind became aware
Of the glowing beauty before her
In life and wild woods
In rocks and trees and shrubs
So she did not notice, enraptured at Nature’s ways,
When the object of her longing appeared
halfway through a blazing night, a shimmering light
A star burst at the energy captured between the two.
