I go to a place I do not know
a gift I’ve given
to many - the place of death
I go by a way unfamiliar
the road of defeat
I leave behind those
who had no cause
to love me
for I was cruel
hard as iron
I wonder what I’ll find
Those I sent ahead
will doubtless make me welcome
I touch you
tho I know you are not there
(you’re dead, you see)
I taste your lips
even tho
I know
you’re gone from me
between these worlds
I languish -
the hell where I admit you’re gone
the madness where I simply carry on
as if nothing has changed

Faerie Lover - a poem by Neil G
Sleep you gentle in my arms,
I’m just a dream of yours …

To work mine end upon their senses that
This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I’ll drown my book.

I am alone
not with my lover
I am in the garden
contemplating
the water trough
after rain

she was unsworn
not one of us
yet she stood
held the line, unrelenting
a scarred face
was her testament
the foemen fell on us
a violent, surprise attack
with fury in her eyes
she stood her ground
the battle never saw her back

Raven Sings ~
Mother dark,
in a cloak folded
One
crooked
watchful eye
Quiet the harp!
Silence speaks a message
only Raven may hear
Have no fear!
She opens wide her wings,
you are embraced!
The wise bird sings ..

Magdalene’s Ecstasy
he’s gone
yet I feel his breath upon me
unyielding stone
water-smooth my bed
solitude
no loneliness
I’m patient
spellbound in ecstatic trance
days slip away
I count them not
leaves fall
leaves renew
these seasons of silence
each one a friend that’s true
Tribute To Edgar ~
Each thing I touch
corrupts to dust.
I see Death
in each one’s eye.
I wander through
this charnel house,
led by a raven’s cry.
O yes it’s true
that I have loved
beyond the love of mortal men,
but Death and the sea
took her from me
and I’m alone again.
Neil G
