with no intentions of falling into a gloomy sea
compassion held her deep inside
to drift around almost furiously
comparable to a lioness embraced with pride

 floating, bobbing she's gasping for air
relying on perception brings a glow to the night
filled with memories of tenderness shared
wishing to survive with all her might

embracing the wisdom needed to survive
adoration held deep in her heart
love will sustain her; keep her alive
not even death will keep them apart

if it's true that when all else fails
a beam light in the darkness above
within is proof that truest feelings prevail
reaching for him with divine love

she feels life within her she has been reborn
the wild and wise have given her power
this nightmare is ending with a glorious morn
all this intensity has now passed over

Natures lady of the night
protect and hide us from their sight
banish them to other places
let not the spoils be our faces.

Do not want to live my life in fear
or hear their heavy treads so near
that metal monster that they grasp
so they may hunt and hear my last gasp.

Natures lady of the day
my babies i must hide away
cloak them warm from raging folly
no shots must ring a torrents volley.

Natures lady, to this we call
place their father's face upon the wall
maybe then they'll finally see
that in tribute their trophies should not
be me.

I stand amongst the trees all around,
with a full moon glittering high.
I raise my hand to quiet the sounds,
as a stranger passes on by.

Quietly the owls humble their tunes,
the beasts all sit so still.
As moments pass on we know that soon,
our safety we all will feel.

With a cougar he sits at my side,
a guardian of the woods.
It is nature for which I live and die,
a protector of all I could.

No winds or man will vanish this land,
I shall curse the evil it brings.
The birds and deer and turtles by the sand,
with peace they know I bring.

With the stars up high the ooing nite owl,
he reminds us all to sleep.
The bears and panthers all rest awhile,
all knowing how the night time creeps.

As hours tick on morning is here,
a new day for the animals to play.
It is man of which they have always feared,
Mother Nature is here to stay.

Passion and fury within her eyes
stalking the land this night
golden shadows that take your soul
if you look upon her light.

The golden lady will come for you
heed these words for they are wise
she'll steal your heart with seduction
if you look deep into her eyes.

She walks the land from dusk 'til dawn
casting her shadows of gold
her faithful companions by her side
or so the legend is told.

Her nature is wild with spirit set free
she thrives upon your heart
but once you let her seduce you
your souls will never part.

Beware as the state of sleep does come
when the moon is full and bright
arriving within upon the wind
to bewitch you in the night.

Her golden glow will warm your heart
silken touches you can't resist
moans of pleasure will come from within
as you're enveloped into her mist.
When your body lay spent and ravaged
legend states that her shadows of gold
will entice you to look deep into her eyes
when she has you her stare turns cold.

Heed this warning the legend is true
she wants what is rightfully hers
the lady who casts golden shadows
will return when the full moon occurs.

Look to yourself, for what you are
for what you have deep within your soul
Embrace yourself, for who you are
the inner strengths and weaknesses

With great courage and strength
accept the light and darkness
Embrace yourself with wisdom
knowledge of what is true and right

For those who accept your entity
excluding nothing, embracing all
Realize the magnitude of all you are
there is genuine truth, faith, devotion

Allowing others to experience your intimacy
you may in turn evoke a knowledge
Awaking your senses, a whole new pleasure
an intimacy you seek deep within your soul
blueflaxen©

I am ice, I am fire,
I am woman, lion, lamb.
True love only I require,
True love only I demand.

My image is half truth, half lies,
The world sees what I choose to show.
It sees the ice within my eyes,
But not the fire within my soul.

It sees the lion, not the lamb,
The predator, but not the prey.
True love alone sees who I am,
And chooses to love me anyway.
Theophilus©

Underneath a moonlit sky
I attempt to not cry
for I reach above the clouds
to touch you

For in my heart I always feel
an essence of you surreal
lion's strength, dancer's grace
A moment to touch you, hold you, compose you

A falling star drops from the sky
as a tear from my eye
for I dream of the day
that I will touch you

In my soul I always feel
what this world can't reveal
a Rose in bloom amidst this gloom
a moment to touch you, hold you, compose you

A Moment to touch you, hold you, compose you.
Tristin©

Inevitable time, a renewal of flesh,
Exchange the visage, a DNA mesh.

Weightless and clean, untouched as of yet,
A new soul springs through a firefly net.

A splitting of skin, emergence of light,
Life's mighty force, a miracle of sight.

Benevolence 'n grace, thine evil to tame,
A harmony of poise within the frame.

Wisdom swoops on a breeze of pure logic,
Bravery proud stands perfect and stoic.

Soon I'll emerge and take my place,
Revived and ready for the human race.

So ends my before,
And the beginning of more,
Through clouds of expression my soul will soar!

Golden light from deep within
Irradiate the natural woman,
As the creatures of the earth
Are all mothered with her birth.

Creatures great with creative souls
Created since the days of old,
Is she spirit? Is she light?
Is there with her, ever night?

Some say dharma is her nature.
Karma returns with her for sure,
As others see her as the force
Feared for wrath upon her course.

 Dharma done and karma coming
Still it's love that keeps her humming.
In her hands a healing light
Gives forth love and gives out life.

Lady Nature, natural woman,
Sooth the land and stimulate man.
Let us grow within and without
From her singing and glorious shouts.

Mother earth, true woman worth,
Nurture long and give rebirth
Take the bitter from our tongues
And teach us songs of love for lungs.

Teach us of your great endurance.
Show us living in your dance.
Join us on our sojourn's tour
Keep us bright and ever pure.
Wes© 

Silent golden light
a power of her will
doth draw nature
and keep it still
to settle at her side
a place of haven
the lion, owl,
and the raven
she wonders slowly walking
through the night
nay do moon
outshine her light
peace dwell about her
and shall ever be
gargoyle©

When wild thoughts flood your already tormented mind
Envisioned whilst drifting into slumbers deep
A spirit reincarnate you may find
Heroine perhaps of the book your reading as you fall fast asleep...

A naked woman in rainbow brilliant guise
Shrouded in eye lightened gossamer veil
Stands with Owl alighting on her shoulder a Lioness at her side
This mystical vision enlightened in shades of pale...

Searching now your souls hidden eyes everywhere
You may feel your blood run cold
Whilst full moon shines on landscape Bear
Your worst fears now returned from old...

Yet just when you think you are going to die
Her voice you will hear above the roar of the Lioness
As she conveys to you your strengths and why
It is important to acknowledge your talents and finesse...

For in this life if you are given a gift
Of artistic flare or even an ounce of wit
Then give it back to the world so as to lift
Its peoples from the sadness in which they may sit..

Be wise like the owl...use you talents wisely
Be proud like the lioness...take pride in your work
Love others as you would like to be loved
For it is in giving that you will receive...

And as you rise from your slumber
And the vision lifts from your brain
You may hear the Owl as in thunder
Calling out your name...!

Spiritual Goddess of love, power, and light
Casting a spell in the shimmering moonlight
Waving me forward with bright shining eyes
Looming before me with spirits so wise

The spirits surrounding your virtual essence
Extends your beauty through wondrous luminescence
The eyes that encircle your spiritual being
Reveal the souls of the spirits who are seeing

The spells that you cast for fulfillment in love
Embodied with power and light from above
The spirits rejoice in their transparent home
As the spells are released and allowed to roam

The purity of love is bestowed through open arms
The power they command is revealed by their charm
But the strength they endow is emitted in flight
By the spiritual Goddess of love, power, and light

She softly travels in splendor;
A glimpse which fills the night.
Gracefully elegant, as a bird,
She is ready to begin destiny's flight.

A tender heart she possesses;
The strength of a lioness dwells within;
Truly at peace with herself and the world,
She is passion's own faithful friend.

Her voice, seductively sensuous;
Her soft sighs, carried as gently as the breeze,
From lips of crimson to ears longing to hear;
They can bring any man to his knees.

The sparkling moonlight exquisitely dusts her figure,
As it filters through her locks of gold;
Creating the ambiance of an angel,
Appearing about her head as a glowing halo.

She breathes the zephyr of the heavens,
As the embers of fervor's flames fill her soul.
What man wouldn't want a woman such as this?
One naturally adorned with beauty; one so very whole.
angelqueen©

The wind whispers her name.
Her joy is heard in eagle's soaring cry,
her laughter in the brook.
Elusive beauty only espied
from the corner of one's eye.
Flitting momentary vision, never still.
Caught in a sun beam touching down
or in the deepest shadow stretching out upon the ground.
Trees dance to her song, reeds bowing low.
Flowers blooming at her touch,
glorious in her passing.
Shimmering delight when dressed in stardust and moonlight
or painted by sunrise and dripping with dew.
She surrounds us, envelopes us
watches us and entreats us
to tread lightly in our journeys here.
We are but one of her many children,
though a favorite and at times quite spoiled.
We only get one mother, a reminder from the stars.
One home alone is ours ...
Be not the cause for consternation, or anger or despair
treat well the earth and all our siblings
so that she ceases weeping;
and instead would smile upon the earth,
for you know ...
Gentle Gaia loves us all.
Rutile© 

A spirit long forgotten,
forsaken, rules this place.
Ethereal power present to this day.
Galaxies are as the seas
time is but the tide.
Moonbeams dance on faerie hills
while music fills the night.
Owls glide in silent flight
paws padding through the shadows.
Eyes reflecting all that's seen
and even what is hidden.
Open mind and heart
let the deepest parts remember,
here is where we once would come
to worship at her altar.
Offerings of fragrant dreams
and simple true belief
sacrificed for modern ways
lost without relief.
Come fly again on wings of light
and race on all four legs.
Turn loose and wild
what once was tamed.
Running free under starry skies
clothed only in our name.
Perhaps becoming uncivilized
allowing the pagan to now reign.
Forgetting all we learned
using only what we know
sparking miracles and magic in our wake
the universe we thusly recreate.
Love ever at it's base
we once again come to this place
and offer all we are
joyously to celebrate
by worshiping the world.

I the Lioness.... Huntress by nature .....
Calls upon the Goddess of the mystical Forest to guide Me
For it is Your strength that I am in such need of
I humble MySelf before Thee

I know not which way to turn
I need Your strength to remain
The life I have come to know .....
Exists no longer.

No longer does the Mystical Forest
Holds Me safely to Her breast
My Life Time partner walks no longer upon this Earth
For this great Lost ...I know not which way to turn

ThereFore I call upon Your great powers
For You be the Goddess of the Mystical Forest
Vulnerable I be .
Needing to draw from Your wealth of strength.

For it is but You .... that My Winged Brother draws His wisdom.
It is You ... My life time Mate drew His courage
Because of this I bow at Your feet and plea.
I must rise up and proceed forward.

With in Me I now carry new life.
For this ...I must survive and nurture.
Yet in depths of grave despair
I now do reside.

For this I call upon Thy strength and cunning efforts.
Future generations now depend upon Me.
I must put the painful past aside. 
Crying one last tear for My Earthly Soul Mate ... a final goodbye.

Goddess of the mystical Forest....
Words to be spoken ....riding upon the wings of the wind.
Now reside within You .....how frighten that I be.
Lying at My feet ...... the King of the land .... motionless

If could be .... I would remain reposed at His side.
This can not be .... once again .... as future generations depend upon Me
Cry out do I .... Goddess, heighten the awareness of My sense.
That once again ....... cunning Huntress I might be.

Through the darkness of the night
Gilded eyes watched out of sight
You fretted within your loss
Felt wearied, depleted exhaust

Fear pounced, ambushed your brain
Overcoming your mind, provoking insane
Fatigue, tired, worn down
You sat enfeebled upon the ground

Light from soul suddenly appeared
Illuminating all that gathered near
Out of reach you saw each one
Eyes upon you no need to run

A healing process taking place
Darkened images were lost in space
Keen and refreshed you go on
Proclaiming strength til set of dawn.

she stands guard
over my soul
barely discernable
through the yellow mist

she knows
where i am weak
lapses of wisdom
shortness of tenacity

she knows
the power of the owl
the instinct of the lion
the impact of her beauty

she knows 
how to stop 
the downward spin
into oblivion

she sees
a soul worthy 
of salvation
and redemption

she sees
a need to transfuse
the wisdom
of the owl

she sees
how to impregnate
the tenacity
of the lion

she sees
how the soul
absorbs the
beauty of nature

carefully stir
wisdom of owl
preservation of lion
beauty of existence

thus is born
my souls protectorate
food for my psyche
nourishment for my spirit

i face the morrow
with confidence
and humility
better understanding
the forces that play on us
everyday of our lives,
eternally
b.eniii©

While mere mortals lie silent in a mindless sleep
Careless and unfeeling,
Numb to the night in their wearied evening stupor,
She comes
In veils of ancient woodland mists

The flowing Spirit of One Never Seen
Mother of the darkest forest creatures
Whisper-waltzing on the wind in finest illumination
She appears as a moonbeam
Dancing with the trees
Encircling them with her light
The spirits of the forest rise from their sleep
To join with her in the dance

Yellow cat eyes pierce the dark
Glowing, with a guttural noise emanating
from just below their terrifying gaze
Tamed only by this Faerie spectre of the night, and
Knowing her only as "Mistress"

This mystic Spirit of One Never Seen
Shares her wisdom and sage knowledge
In the ways of all things nocturnal
Guiding her creatures of the night
To find their prey, to feed their hungers

A sudden rustle of black leaves
And white feathers, from limb swooping
Across the now solitary path shaded beneath the bough canopy
A voice shoots through the ebony night
Startling the faint-hearted with a shriek

"Oh, Bird of Prey, thou hast awaken
And brought assemblage with your call...
My Creatures of the Night,
Rise from the depths of your hidden homes!
The night is yours, My Friends
Caress her as she envelops you with welcoming arms
For dawn approaches with blinding light
All too quickly on the morrow"

"Rise, My Friends, and feast upon the evening air!
Thrive in all her glory for the night is yours until
The first foot of the morning treads this
Shamefully hewn path again
To mark yet another day of Man"

"Rise with me and dance in the night
For we are alone among friends
Please sing for us, and chirp your lonely calls,
Oh, nightbirds and crickets!
White moths, regale us with your floating aerial ballet!"

With laughter heard from the Spirit of One Never Seen
Her friends, the creatures of the night, grow bold once again
Partaking in this ancient moonlit festival beneath the stars
Drunk with freedom denied them by the morning sun
They rise as bid
Filled with life from the Spirit of One Never Seen
They dance with her, boldy and proudly, for hours

Then one by one, the night creatures return
To the depths of their hidden homes
Shy and awkward in the face of
Morning's full and glorious sun
They grow careless and unfeeling
Numb to the day in their wearied morning stupor

And the Spirit of One Never Seen
Fades back into the morning woodland mists
She finds her rest in the formed drops of dew upon the green
Until the magic of the night air revives her once again
Rejuvenating her, and inspiring her
To once again dance
Within the beams of the midnight moon
-Romantic-at-Heart-©

Drowning in the mist of sorrows
Dreaming of better tomorrows

So long this forest of loneliness
With the wise old owl and a beautiful lioness

Why can't they guide me from this mystery
I will have to find my own way, such a misery

There is a world out there, no doubt
Searching day and night but I find no way out

Round and Round I wonder
Such is life I do ponder
hunnybunn_3© 

Entranced within your mind
your dreams are becoming my reality
how I long to hold you close to me.

The moon shines down upon my face
I look into your eyes with a starry gaze
oh how I long to kiss you.

The dove soaring high,
an owl on my shoulder
with a lioness by my side, I'll wait for you.

You don't know how much I love you
nor do I think you ever will
oh how I long to let you know.

On this night, this special night
I will appear at your windowsill
only then, you'll know how much I love you.

Your dream is now my reality
my golden glow brings you to me
together entranced in the mist of the blue moon.
