Premium Member Trixie My Irish Muse

with gorgeous ginger hair and Celtic eyes
She comes to shake me, make me rise
my muse is Trixie, persistent and keen
she gives me words in my dream sheen

Head unbowed,

Memory old,

Allegiance sworn,
 fealty burned

Voices call

Lord I Want Us To Share

Lord you
Move this
Wave of oceans
Move these clouds away
Move heaven and earth
Light up this orange-paper sky
Move this Celtic green air
Lord, I want us to share

Alban Arthan

Celtic Priest stands tall
Village folk wide eyed in hope
Sun will hear his call

Breathing Moonlight

ocean tides
are hands
touching the
starry sky
we dance
beneath the
Celtic moon
back and forth
crashing into
distant shores
without a sound
breathing moonlight

You forget, he’ll get ornery and skittish
He’ll point to his pelt 
Start swearing in Celt
With a splash of some Gaelic and Yiddish

Rascal the rapscallion was a slyboots rogue
he fancied himself a pixie, spoke Irish brogue
we suspected he was a leprechaun hiding gold
he lived in Skeezicks Forest, Celtic land of old
