Consumed
Hazel blooms of arcing thunder
Level me in awestruck wonder
Bought and paid for by her touch
Sinking in and swallowed up
Consumed in sacred acres verdant
Subsumed in divine sublimity
Tangled in her vines resplendent
Entwined, imprisoned willingly
Sailing westward past her islands
Setting fires though at sea
I send aloft these smoky signals
Clouds like whispers ride the breeze
To bring to her a missive urgent
A tale of an undying need
A prayer both bespoke and furtive
That tonight we meet and dine like thieves
No longer left just stealing glances
Taken and shown the seven heavens
Ego splintered rays of sun
Brought to bear in fields Elysian
The siege of deeper eyes eternal
Digging tracks across my skin
Only natural I stop to worship
At the clear oasis of our sins
Monuments erected somehow ancient
Windswept ruins clutching hope
Deserted though in this endeavor
Each clap of thunder wakes them up
With renewed promise of her sunrise
I hear her voice with every gull
Cresting waves and pounding surf
Beckoning me to sail on
Compelled to keep an oath most welcome
Complete submission, Circe's song
Kept at the goddess' beck and call
With incantations scandalous
And every weight of mortal living
Atoned for here beneath her love
While I make such subtle supplication
Knelt down at the altar stone
And spread the worship of my goddess
Picking prayers with a careful tongue
Devoured in reverent silent succor
Devoted to hymns left long unsung
Sensations seep like wandering lightning
Complete the cycle, rooted deep
And pried at last from the jaws of Hell
Harrowed and humbled lying there
Laid out upon the great green shore
Where thirsty waves lap greedily
Eroding shipwreck, rock and bone
Brought here by this unnatural storm
But I am carried out on calmer tides
Left sated by these sacred rites
I sail with her blessing, aid and boon
And hum the hymn of the consumed
