Beltane’s Night
On the eve of Beltane
The Earth’s call rang across hill and heather, towards ford and cliff
From tree to river the door calls, spirits of earth so fair,
Heard by elf and pixie, awakening the dryads in their trees of old. 
Summoning them with rallying cries,...

A holy man, a profit of God, but of what God?
Rasputin the black snake of Eden, endowed with
Silvery fork tongue of the viper.
It slithered into the golden palace of paradise,
Coiling and oiling around the royal cradle of
Innocence, constricting it within the folds of lies
And deceit...

William and Kate are tired of waiting
The heir to the old English throne is he
Though a commoner, Queen she may be

He gave her a sapphire and diamond ring
The one Charles to Lady Diana did...

It is easily surrenders to what has defeated it 
The sound of poetic thing that coughs out the great mentality to wash away the dry and thirsty feelings of the lost tigers

You deserve so much more that I give 
In deed she is
She lights the green light
A woman of letters
Once upon a time
Under the moonlight tales
We hear the sky
Meeting with angels
In the blue clouds

A different mother
The onset of the nucleus
I can tell the history
Though, I wasn't...

Although Tai-Gueng-Uang’s* wife 
did not abandon her husband but wanted 
to avoid poverty, she, now, is so sad and agonizing
because no water poured to the ground can be recovered.

A thousand thoughtful thimbles
On as many thoughtless thumbs
Conspired to throw the throne
By the water's edge on Threadmesomes

A prick on a prince's finger
Produced prints on a Royal blouse
Thimble protection once provided
Protected not the Royal House

They struck throughout the kingdom
Thick leathers and thin garments alike
Proper thongs and...
