A Rather Inspired weekend

3 poems written this weekend!

on friday...(19/10/12)
a small wish

I need the words back
the words I used to know
please bring them back to me
so holy and free
please help me to see
what's right in front of me
it's there all along
just learn the words to the song
beautiful words
where have you been
it's been so long
there's still more
it's hidden at the core
your base core
needs to identify
needs to verify
pen to paper
let it flow
let it go, let it out
you know it's in there
just set it free

Goddess

Breathe in, Breathe out
Goddess in, Goddess out
within and without
round and about
the Goddess breathes as we do
In and out
inside out, upside down
it doesn't matter which way we look
you won't find her presence in a book
she's in you, she's around you
searching your soul
making you whole.

Breathe in, Breathe out
Goddess in, Goddess out
Let's not forget our connection
as we search for the answers
to our soul seeking questions
she is I, and she is you
she is the sky, she is the sea
she is the spirit inside of me

come, won't you see
this mystical union is free
Goddess in, Goddess out,
I have no doubt.


Sunday (21/10/12)- Inspiration
Standing at the pearly gates
but this isn't Heaven
this is the blank, blank sheet
staring at me, teasing me
waiting for me to fill it
with juicy words
perhaps even men with swords
fairies, angels, vampires or even just ordinary people
waiting for me to direct their narrative

But I'm struggling to open the gate
and the page remains white
no words seem quite right
the lines blur
as thoughts start to occur
letters begin to form
and a new life is born.

The gate has been unlocked
and all I had to do is knock
the words have returned
like a long lost friend
what was once broken, is now on the mend
welcome back
I promise this time, I won't give you the sack.

I am Pagan

At first everyone thought it was just a phase

that I'd soon grow out of it

I was just a teenager

fascinated by the promise of magic and spells

But as time wore on,

I didn't stop reading

every aspect of my life became affected

my choices became clearer

and now I had beliefs I held much dearer

I never even knew I had a faith

but when I discovered paganism

I knew I had been one all along

over the years

things have changed

sometimes I've neglected it, other times I've worked so hard on it,

but still the same

it always remains

the premise for me is so simple

"do what you will but harm none"

respecting the earth

and keeping in mind the power of three times three

all these years later I can't think of anything I'd rather be

my whole life this has been who I am

I am a pagan

and I am proud.

January

Oh January

you and I have a turbulent relationship

you always make promises you can't keep

and I get so overexcited I can barely sleep

making plans in my head

if I did them all I'd probably fall dead

you always let me down

with a frown

you give me hope, you can give me dreams

then you rip them up at the seams

you pull the carpet from beneath my feet

and knock right off my self righteous seat

you make me ill, you give me stress

and I always end up in a mess

yet you know I'll be fooled again

and I'll feel like I'm stuck in the rain

but it takes sunshine AND rain to make a rainbow

so I'll see you through

and wait for the sun to emerge

Elements

Everyday we walk upon the ground
The ground so solid, so stable
shouldn't we learn to appreciate the Earth?
stop littering the grounds
if we didn't have the Earth what would we walk on?
If you believe in the Earth
the gnomes will be at the north
ready to bless you with their stability

everyday we breathe in the air
it cools us down, it warms us up
we need the air to breathe
feel the air, blowing your hair
if we didn't have the air, how would we live?
if you believe in the air
the sylphs will be at the east
ready to bless you with their wisdom

everyday we drink the water
use it for washing up
cleanse ourselves with water
feel the rain pouring down
hear the tap go drip drip drip
if you believe in the water
the undines will be at the west
ready to bless you with their creativity

everyday the sun shines down on us
brings us light, brings us warmth
feel the sun beaming down
watch as the flowers bow down to the light
if you believe in the fire
the salamanders will be at the south
ready to bless you with their courage

everyday divinity chooses our fate
watches what we do
and sends it back threefold
lets us learn how to live
lets us choose our own decisions
watch for the goddess in the sky at night
her brightness will astound you
if you believe in divinity
she is all around you
blessing you all the time

Flames

I glow like a star in the night
I will be your only light
My flame will ride high
through the mystery of life

watch me as I dance for you
look into my flame
and you will see who's to blame
I'll predict your future
and I'll recall your past

watch me flicker
I am your key
to spirituality
let me show you the way
to connect with divinity
and you will know what to say

The Leaf Trail

Once I saw a trail of leaves
and wondered where they led
when suddenly I heard a child cry
"To the faeries! To the faeries!"
Curious to the child's glee
I followed so I could see
It seemed we walked a thousand miles
in a matter of five minutes
it turned out we were in faeryland
and the child was an elf in a band
they played music so sublime
I lost track of time
what I thought was an hour
was in fact eleven years since I had a shower!

The Rarr

*this is one about one of the fairies in the Faery Oracle deck of cards

Such excitable energy
bouncing so fast
never stops moving
always on the go
The rarr comes into your life and promptly turns it upside down
makes you feel so lightheaded
wow I feel overwhelmingly happy
but at the same time so restless
great mother earth please help me calm down
I'll listen to your soothing sound
It's wonderful to have your head in the clouds
but even more important to keep your feet on the ground

Blessed Be

I wish I could see you
I wish I could hear your voice
My love for you grow stronger every day
you are my ultimate happiness
unconditional love flows through you
yet I can't see your face
yet I can't hear your voice
but my love will never stop.

I can feel your presence all the time
In the trees, even in the daisies on street corners
I hear your magick constantly
In the birds song, in a child's laughter
You are everything and everything is you.

Thank you God and Goddess
For your everyday wonders and mystical miracles
my life would be nothing without you
I love you in every possible way
after all, my friends and family are all a part of you
thank you for being there
blessed be, God and Goddess
