King of the Woods |
| Solsticial |
| The lake is as a mirror |
| For the moon |
| That shimmers high above |
| The sacrificial |
| Lamb becoming clearer |
| Soon shall be |
| Just a shave that craved her love |
| Arician oaks cloak the sacred grove |
| Wherein her priest |
| Awaits to greet |
| His successor to this ancient throne |
| The King Of The Woods |
| Stands staunchest guard |
| O’er the golden bough |
| In the eldritch haunts of Nemi where |
| I rake the fecund dells to take his crown |
| Midsummer night grows pensive |
| On the murder to befall |
| The incumbent fright defensive |
| Against my intense intent to rule |
| Divine right by the bravest slave |
| To perpetuate the flame |
| To ascend to watch blest vestals bathe |
| Where their temple bares Diana’s name |
| The King Of The Woods |
| Rex Nemorensis |
| Cleaves the gilded tree |
| And accepts the sentence of the God |
| To rest his kindred spirit free |
| The Queen Of The Stars |
| Alights to earth |
| And from the silvered water’s edge |
| She means to take me in her arms |
| But favours fulsome forest beds instead |
| Communion with heaven |
| The Goddess of the wild countryside |
| An Egeria and Virbius |
| We pleasure endeavour |
| Together we ride |
| I show my face, the lustrous one |
| And by my grace, all men undone |
| Fall neath my spell to fell delights |
| This one I chose, I froze on sight |
| Come sow me, mould me thy seed |
| So I might grow to Spring’s relief |
| Fulfill the circle’s ritual needs |
| Untold delights, twelve months to be |
| Torches draw me from this reverie |
| Where maids debauch me reverently |
| And when night dissolves, I self-absolve |
| Mounting my days with fate’s resolve |
| Now |
| Deep in the coals of my soul |
| A hot tongue flickers |
| A reign for her flame to unfold |
| Before the hunt quickens Death’s bow |
