Spring Oath

grief and misery in me restless dire reign from thick and heavy slumber winter break unfolding oath of first-born discord hidden in deepest well from Divine gaze, gorge heavy, ‘til ruptured, lift shadow to light dragging from darkest hollow, mortal madness made. delirium, lifeless, languish no more! but, from under trumpet fire dreadful wrath embrace unleash in waves of vengeance, voiding silence, waking fever burning glory until violent bloom devours. now, in torrent, rivers engulf entangling limb and branch twisting mad lovers, earth foam caress spinning pagan frenzy, Danu arise root and rage tumble ecstasy seduce in shallow breaths, under shades of twilight green. sweet silhouettes from moon three quarter wax upon beast and billow, wisp alight and from heaven’s dome, set aurora blush spreading lux fire revelation, mocking night jealous sun, peeking, leeward leers arching eastern furnace fingers flex afar, lusts hungry hot. ~winter, fret not spring cut in line maybe I helped a bit just this one time
