Purity In Time

Years gone by awaiting true love 

Avoiding the advances of many 

Weaving the shroud of a living parent by day 

Undoing a part of it by night 

 Will they be able to string the most rigid of bows 

Throw an arrow through twelve axes? 

Will the Gods intervene... will they not? 

Living in fear each day praying

A Prophesy Unheard

A cursed gift – seeing all & yet - 

Remaining unheard through the years 

Warnings about a gift horse 

My voice still ringing in deaf ears 

Leading to destruction of my kin 

In my arms, seeing a lover’s demise 

With fear awaiting the day of my doom 

Helpless and hapless, each morn I arise

Of love and wars...

Gods and Goddesses with bound hands 

Watched in silence a war wage 

A warrior undefeated, a heel untouched 

Slain with an arrow unguided 

A face that launched a thousand ships 

In the turbulent seas where battles brew 

Ending with tragedy at each doorstep 

Fades away, a glory past 

A smile that’s lost in the pages of history

Spinning tales...

My dreams show spinning wheels 

A towering hall hidden in trees 

A hundred years have come and gone 

And still similar visions are on 

Cursed and blessed at the moment of my birth 

My knight in shining armour is still at his hearth 

Time unbound I await 

My destiny to change

Writing on the wall

Blessed by the Goddess 

The Maiden, The Mother, The Crone 

Unsurpassed in the looking glass 

Defying my soul, my body, my psyche 

 Taming my tresses ever so fine 

The forbidden fruit lodged in my throat 

Waiting in a glass sepulcher 

 For my chrysalis stage to end 

The day my caterpillar will turn into a beautiful butterfly

Dissolving into foam

Three hundred years, three eons, an age of servitude

Trying to earn my immortal soul

Ethereal beings floating on air

Feeling the warmth of the sun

A melody unheard, a beauty unseen

Each smile I give – lessens my burden

Each tear I shed – one too many

Striving for eternal life,

My atonement starts the day

I dissolve into foam

And cease to exist...
