AUTUMNUSGreen Man drifts in
AUTUMNUS
Green Man drifts in yellow, brown, vermillion,
Steps rustling, scented deep of soil and
Deep buried hollows, rich
In peaty treasure,
Morels, chantrelles, truffles, dew-touched, spring
From nook and cranny;
Leaves swim the air, dancing with gravity
For each breathless moment, then
Touch down, and begin to nourish the
Branches that budded them.
He walks among them, swathed in umber, in amber,
In red and crimson and fire and orange,
He shakes the boughs, and plumps up the mossy pillows,
Feeds the birds, the small creatures....
....and moves on....

UNDER WATERWhat strange fish by Morriganscrow, literature
Literature
UNDER WATERWhat strange fish
UNDER WATER
What strange fish dart
And tremble, beneath the surface
Of shadowed seas?
What broken songs whisper
Along the currents,
Among the drifting weeds?
What hearts break, in brittle silence,
Among the curling, swirling sands
And into grottoes lost to human sight?
Who sinks, slowly, slowly,
Slowly...
Into the dark?

My mind sings in rainbow codings,
Kaleidoscope sunrises and butterflies' wings, in
Ideas all pigmented, awash in roseate Love and
Joy all brilliant green as a peacock in flight.
Blues explode in laughter, yellows leap up
Into the sky, and plunge deep into hearts of purple;
Foxfire dances from neuron to neuron, carrying
All I am through me in frequencies I taste and touch,
In shades I see and hear and smell, sweet
Perfumes of hues!
I am an explosion....
A conflagration....
A Soul dilation....
I am a Nebula, shining Child of Star Stuff
In my endless, glowing Mind.....

Take heed, take heed ye who have raised weapons, or fists clenched;
Or who, with wounding words, or lies, scalding heartskin and
My Soul, have wronged me -
I know ye...I KNOW ye...I See within ye and
I remember! I See ye
In all thy smallness, thy weak spite and bravado, thy
Arrogance...self-hatred's mask;
And I do unto thee the very worst I can...
...
...
I forgive thee
And turning my face, walk away...
And never once look back....

To the West thunder rumbles,
Cloud's indigestion, the flatulence of electrons;
Farting lightning, scaring dogs -
The barking drowns the borborygmi of
The roiling sky.
A pending storm - the irritable bowel syndrome
Of heaven....

There is a joy in offering
Myself to you, a book of many pages,
Scented parchment slips so smoothly through
Stroking fingers, I am a silken skinned
Tome, of stuttered wisdom and childish clarity,
Of laughter and tears so intermingled
I am both...
And neither....
Touch me!
~ Morriganscrow (C) April 2011
My heart, my desires have been comatose
For three and twenty years -
An empty, echoing, aching void inside, overlapping my heartspace and my solarspace....
Cold in there, so cold, so scarred; crying drifted,lifting the
Circling crows of listless despair;
I thought I was beyond resusitation, beyond Soulbreath, HeartBeat,
Beyond feelings of a simpleton's love;
I was wrong, so wrong....
Now, I've found the balm, the gentle breath, so unexpected -
The voice, the touch, the essence....
...and I am filled....
A cord connected me to somewhere/one? I knew
I'd lost somehow/when and was bereft.
I had searched, unaware I searched,
For fi
Sweet scented, sleeping budling tiny one,
In leafy grottos, curled up and petal bright, hiding in
Plain sight, a velvet child of Spirit,
...Berry cheeked and damask rosy eyelids, long lashes curling
Soft and fine, rain beads shimmer on dandelion hair and
Cling to lips, perfect in every way....
A patter-pitter of many feet, she wakes and wanders, soft
Satin limbs, she touches all the tiny things and
Makes them hum with joyful growth;
A single rosehip is a banquet, a dewdrop is a bath
And where she tippy-toes the forest floor
Rustles and shivers with
Delight....

In shell-swept caves of limestone, ancient
As ammonites, all powdered, swathed in weeds and bladderwrack;
Wherein sigh the waves, and out, a gentle sussurance, as
Gaia breathes, salty-sweet and eternal,
Her heartbeat echoing in tides and chasms;
There Crone sleeps, spume-swaddled, brine-bedded, alone -
Dreaming deep, deep dreams of shadowed gulfs,
Of water dark and thick and slow, so
Cold, so...cold....
Echoing with yearning whalesong, the shrill
Chatter of krill, bloodsong of orcas hunting, the trembling
Thoughts of nautilus and octopus, the laments
Of fish innumerable;
She waits....
Waits....
Waits....
Dreaming....

See, my Child, see the
Stars? They reflect in your eyes and
Whirl across your skySoul;
I have so much in my
Heart to show you, tell you,
Blood of my blood;
And your sweet
Breath glows, motes of nebulae
Birthing as I birthed you.
We flew on solar exhalations,
Grew in furnaces beyond comprehension,
Swam the seas of worlds in their dawning, and yet
No beauty touches me
More deeply than
Your fingers curling, tiny buds,
Around mine, and the new, sweet smell
Of you.
Oh Child! I see the Stars, but my heart breathes for love of
You!
