Flux, 1998

Here I reap barley, corn and wheat
In this field dark and bleak
Eros holds the keys I seek
Psyche’s tasks to complete

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
Aphrodite

From my lips Venus fountains drip
Bittersweetness
Eden howls behind garden walls
Reed pipes for wantoness

I held the lamp
Suspicion beheld me his face
I held the lamp
My lover flew away

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
Aphrodite

In the shadows of passion’s throws
Love’s harvest seemed so cruel
Black rivers cross beauty’s domain
Mortal world you begin to fade

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
My lover flew away

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
Aphrodite

“Come away, with me, oh human child
to the waters and the wild,
with a fairy hand in hand . . .”

You can not stay here one more day,
The world is full of sorrow and decay,
Through the forest, to the sacred lake

Musing “in my hands to find you to find you,
reason after reason to find you.”

Where the waters slumbering and still,
A whirlpool will take us to the mill,
An hourglass of time will be killed.

We'll dance in rings around a cherry tree,
And only eat the reddest berries,
In the timeless spring eternally.

Musing “my hands to find you”

Musing “my hands to find you, to find you,
reason after reason to find you.”
