O RES MIRABILIS (O MARVELLOUS THING)

O RES MIRABILIS (O MARVELLOUS THING) O guide, wing swift to swathe my seed in the blue robe that glints with stars so thorn and nail will bore no bed for vipers to squirt the toxin of rot. From your high realm let sail a kiss if black art roars and rends my eyes. O sweet maid gird your slave with... Sign in to see full entry.

BEYOND THE LIGHT

BEYOND THE LIGHT I hail the morn a yew tree sang to spray his dust of ruby and rose. A fairy girl bowed; her garb was sun She blest iron soil that hags once cursed and woke the lakes with voice of silk so I might gaze at high wars won to shield this realm for souls in love who fell the ghouls as...

A DOVE DESCENDS

A DOVE DESCENDS An olive twig falls; I taste its fruit The tar of life melts from my soul. A dove sails low; gold lights his head He parts his beak and holy words pour that grant me grace to kneel at thrones where lost gifts well in glory of gems. The wise, pure bird bears one in shade I see stern... Sign in to see full entry.

STARS IN MY HEART

STARS IN MY HEART A bell chimes noon; I see rays flare and race to earth with tips of gold that pierce my heart so stars will blaze. I feel notes pulse; my lips pour sighs as love wings hope for bliss and grace to reign in light when dark roars deep. A steam of scents heats fast my brow The muse... Sign in to see full entry.

ESTHER'S CROWN

ESTHER'S CROWN I soar to skies and rest on clouds A soft wind puffs; it stirs pink gauze. Songs flow in air; the white maid smiles She casts Her crown; stars rain to kiss the hearts of men who ring Her robe. No pang will stab their acts born true for She brims love that burns red snakes and beams... Sign in to see full entry.

MARIA ADDOLORATA (OUR LADY OF SORROWS)

MARIA ADDOLORATA (OUR LADY OF SORRROWS) You gaze on sores that ooze black pus A gush of tears froth heat as salve for all the souls in fear and want. I see you cast a rose robed blue spun from the cape borne by God's dove. It sails to flood our pleas with faith and signs the meek whose ways are just... Sign in to see full entry.

FONT OF GRACE

FONT OF GRACE High Prince of words you glide on wings and call blest souls who seek the light. Your font sprays dew; it melts vain shades that cloak our minds in smog and lead. We hear the chime of glad notes pure A fond scent wafts when you rain grace. For God wills love to salt His earth The work... Sign in to see full entry.

TO THE ELIXIR OF JOY

TO THE ELIXIR OF JOY O come sweet lute to lead my heart to mount the stair of haze and trance so I may stroll in glades with elves and tend my ear to fond tales past. O age long faun I crave your peace the path you tread with lords of grace who line green aisles to part the veil that hides their... Sign in to see full entry.

LET SPIRITS AWAKE

LET SPIRITS AWAKE O bring me gems to crown my head and play the harp good soul of wings. A star winks joy; call loud its name that it may trace your wish in light. I raise my palms and hail its waltz in skies at rest till kiss of morn. O how I seek to clasp your sign that fine work lives as balm for... Sign in to see full entry.

JEWELS

JEWELS O music you kiss and melt my soul I soar in grace to realms on high. A holy man sings; he crafts his quill with rays of gold cast by pure love. I see a spark dart from his hand its ruby glow spins a box in silk. The lock that seals its prize is jet A jade key turns and blest oil spurts to... Sign in to see full entry.
