    A Bronze Age Tribute to the Earth

    O great Mother who sleeps beneath stone.


    In furrowed field and marrowed bone,
    We offer you meat, we offer you flame
    Remember your children. Remember our name.

    Your womb is the cave,

    your blood is the stream,
    You whisper to Seers in fragments of dream.


    Your hands shaped mountains,

    your sighs formed seas,
    You cradle the dead in roots and leaves.

    We plough your skin,

    we drink your tears,
    We dance our grief, we plant our fears.
    When thunder calls, we do not hide
    For storm and soil walk side by side.

    In every harvest,

    every stone we place.
    In ashes, in births, in memory’s face.
    We speak your truth with drum and horn
    That from the dark, all life is born.

    Cursed Love: Themes of Fate and Freedom in Poetry


    From Boldolph to Morrigan

    I howled to the moon,

    but it gave me no answer,
    Just the echo of paws in the frost-bitten heather.
    I searched for your scent in the whispering rain,
    Through bones of the hills and the breath of the plain.

    We were fire and fang, you and I,
    Bound by curse, by claw, by sky.
    You ran ahead white flash through trees
    While I remained, dragged down by knees.

    I saw you in dreams where no man treads,
    Where wolves wear crowns and ghosts break bread.
    Morrigan, my moon-heart, do you still roam
    The hollowed-out places we once called home?

    I would trade my strength, my storm-wrought hand,
    For one more touch, for one command.
    To run beside you beneath the stars,
    Free of these chains, these cursed scars.

    But if fate is cruel and time is blind,
    I’ll wait through seasons undefined.
    For love like ours does not decay
    It howls, it hunts, it finds a way.
