Purple Prickly Pear

Spirits of the woodland deep.
Gather, please, at gate.
Shadow, dark fire, through me seep!
Hummingbirds can hate!

Where the prickly pear was grown?
Deep beneath a lake.
Where the angry god was thrown?
Someone made mistake...

There to build, O pyramid!
Tumble down the step.
Deterrence means getting rid?
Soldiers, step with pep.

Stars above the forest?
From heaven, do ye swing?
Harpsichords, harpy, ne'er rest.
Sight-line, foe to sing.

Awkward position? Well, done.
Servants of the One.
Oracle, scion, vision.
Blink and it's begun...

Whiplash? Sword, deliver slash?
If you've got the cash!
Otherwise be-fevered bash.
Dessicate the dash...

Crater, thy rim. Tyrant, whim.
Abysm to swim.
O dark chasm, lights a-dim?
Except moment grim...
