Return to Me, Alue

Your crescent-moon mark
Constricted, not crushed
Convulses in the dark
Starved of starlight
Hushed is the sage
Silenced in the shade
Frantic and forlorn
Cleave to my cadence
Come out from the briars
Where you hid in pain
Come back to the bowers
Where we danced and sang
Shake off the spiders
Before they lay you to rest
Betraying our betrothal
With their kiss of death
Your muted lips
Are mine to kiss
Beneath the boughs
Uphold our vows
To Light! To Life! To Love!
Swing me, spin me, bewitch me
As sunshine in springtime
Beguile me to bask
In the radiance
In the warmth
Of your embrace
Dip me down
Undress my veiled locks
Lean into my spirited song
And seal our budded Bond
With your spellbound kiss
