Artemis

Titanium and slate upon
Your moving lips and heart
Tell me how to worship when we’re
Millenia apart

Your multicolored eyes on me
Have never caused me harm
Your weapons, sharp and pointed aim
As flexing shapes your arm

And I dance to the moon
I’ll always fight within your sky
And I pray in the night
On the quarters’ peeking scry

Vulnerable skin and arrows
Glancing dark aside here
Shout the magic words and say I
Still hold your justice near

Stars sparkling down me unto veins
I feel will come alive
Touch me up and down, I tremble
My soul will truly thrive

And I dance under moon
Willingly follow you and I
Am loving, I imbue
Most people who are loving you

Shady oaks and pines above us
I vow to never stray
Believing you will never leave,
Believing you will stay

In the oak bed I made for us
I know you will not lay
Your tender lips away from mine
My goddess, meant to slay

Storm Into Light

Whistling

Through my ears

Shivering

Drawing tears

Over my cheeks



Icy hands

Covering

Darkened eyes

Paneling

Shook me alone



Crunching

Natures’ dead

Handling

Glass and wood

Fear in my eyes



Flickering

Alone, She

Stealthily

Watches me

Safety ahead



Stoically

Quiver, bow

Guardingly

Covers me

“Protect me so.”



Clumsily

Paper bonds

Featherfall

Binding us

Forever long



Artemis

Smiles down

Gently

Waving hand

Over my breath.
