Beating Wings

 

My enchantress comes with beating wings

Poundeth back and forth within my heart

Embrace me in thine soft caress

Touch my face with thine velvet wing

The wind thy maketh hot upon my neck

Thou resteth so softly upon me

Lighter than air above me

The stars come brighter still

The clouds flow faster above

All above me frames thine face

Changing in undulating passion

 

Take me, take me

      under thine wing

Beneath thee I shall rise

Surgeth up to greet thee

      as doth the foamy seas

As I cometh softly beneath thee

      clinging ever so tightly

Beat faster thine wings

      and so rise us up

To fly off in loving embrace

 

Beating Wings

Next: Moonrise
