Devotional Poems
Attraction
As deer stand in the torch-light´s glare,
As fools into a gold-hoard stare,
So lovers, blinded, all will dare
And for the danger do not care.
Like moth to light I come to you
Desiring what I´ll surely rue
Brief rapture, then I pay my due
Within the flame I should eschew.
At Last
Will I finally find
you at the end of
days,
will you beckon me follow as I see your face?
I shall not ask whither, I shall not
ask why
but follow beside you to
Hel or the sky.
Breaker
Rugged gray rock in the rage of the
ocean,
firm rest in thundering tides:
Time and again you have saved me from drowning--
and now I shall break on your crags.
Wed
Not golden was the ring you gave,
A woven circle was my bond;
No keys you gave me, yet with iron
Unlocked the inmost of my heart.
No carpenter did craft the bed
Of living wood on which I wait
Suspensed in agony of bliss
My soul freed by your searing kiss.
Prayer
Be my first thought at waking,
be my last thought at night;
when I drift into darkness,
let your name be my guide.
Even
The
scales are tipping -
Heavy
one half
With
granted gifts
The
other now fills
With
pain I pay
Thus
the score evens.
Dedication
Fettered my hands now,
Fettered my heart -
I give myself
All that I am
My breath and my blood
Teach me - dare me
Touch me - tear me.
"Do you trust me?"- "I trust you like
death."
