I wait
as your boat is moored by deep cave
You weigh your choices:
Flee
and forget
what you have truly seen
Or spur me, fighting
the venomous snakes, green-slithering
with fiery orbs
Or give me your lips
deadly sweet
chimera of silk
to kiss
to shatter the lies -
The curse upon me by jealous Goddess:
My heart is not a stone-

Thanks for the visit ~
I hide doors
I dye garments blue
Until
candles melt
to blackness
Ashes coil
& crown
yew trees kings
Wild is your murmuring
in cold
knuckled night
For you,
I gift my silver tongue
& red purple feathers
For you,
I keep the moon
silent
veiled behind murky clouds
Until
you flame
once more
glorious as phoenix
