The toad road licked my wheels like a sabre
Winds of the marsh lightly blew Stone jars stacked with stars on her shoulders Hunters of pity she slew. Chariots of silk she rode Stallions of gold she owned. A mad Mage with a maid on his eyebrows Hunteth the realm for a God Who could teach him the craft of decanting The glassy entrails of a frog. The Bard of my birth with his ballet Walked the wild worlds in the chase For the black chested canary Who as a moose can sing bass. |

'Pon a hill a green bird sat
Her owlets in a green felt hat Her fortune was a wish. Ambassador a heron blue Rode on the dawn with kegs of dew He said his tales were true A ragged youth with eyes of glass Was seen dancing upon the grass His words were winged and wise His shaven skull he etched with ease The silent scriptures of the trees His prophecies were You. |

The seal of seasons moved with grace
Love Upon the Orkney oceans face Love She swam and moved Just like a prancer A gypsy dancer A salty shimmered shell of foam. Out of the depths she stood before me One breath and shells grew on my nut tree It swayed and swum Just like a prancer A gypsy dancer A salty shimmered shell of foam. Her night it came and then she hooked her head Unto the fleeing sun and then she fled And flew whou Just like a prancer A gypsy dancer A salty shimmered shell of foam. |

O the throat of winter is upon us
The barren barley fields refuse to sway Before the Husky hag of early winter In her hoods of snowy grey. Winter winter winter Are you but a servant of the bad one. Lo the frozen blue birds in the belfries The bluebells in their hearts are surely prey Unto the grasping bats-wing of the winter pincer Hoods of snowy grey. |

Handsome as life
He's our lord and we trust in him To move like the wind As our friend and guardian. The elements and oceans congregate on his brow And he stalks in style like a royal crocodile. His chariot legs Are tree green and autumn brown His crown of dusk is a glimpse of things to be. In palaces and temples near the dwellings of man If he can he'll smile 'cos he's a Royal Crocodile. |

The sea beasts scull the waters
Feeling fear for thee The hawks that tamed the skies Wish you so well to be. A Foal in the fields With the bless of the hills your Shore and you're poor and your sore feetys Ne'er to be bore By man's claw. The horned dog guarding grandly Daughters of the Sun At night in twilight groves His pray for you is begun. You foal in the fields With the bless of the hills on your Shore and you're poor and your sore feetys Ne'er to be bore By man's claw. The bull of gold that's old Beyond the songs of man Keeps watch upon the fates When they misweave your strand. O Foal in the fields With the bless of the hills on your Shore and you're poor and your sore feetys Ne'er to be bore By man's claw. UFO, UFO you are UFO, UFO you are UFO, UFO you are, a colt. |

A box of doves
I placed beside your chest Liar A stork of silk With rubies in its nest Fire Of my love Will burn thee to a wizened word For ere to go unheard. A mare of wood Elder, elm and oak Liar Will keep you fair If you jest me no joke Fire Of my love Will burn thee to a wizened word For ere to go unheard. I'm old and bruised But my fate is that of youth Liar Trickster you Be a grisly dragon's tooth Fire Of my love Will burn thee to a wizened word For ere to go unheard. You gashed the heart of my heart Like a Portuguese Witch, I'd planned for you this land But you devoured my hand. |

Nijinsky Hind is a wisp of our world
Through the heart's eye. Its horns are white hide From the skin of our lord When his youth stood Wondrous and fair like a sea. Nijinsky Hind was a remnant of Earth As it once stood. A likeness in flesh of the magic Contained in a pearl's shell Breathing its breath uniquely. Nijinsky Hind was begotten From man's thoughts of kindness. Its hoofs shod with gold Are the textures of Earth's distant future Gilded and tall like a hall. |

Beauty things sing to me
As a chorus As a flock the wild seas Sway before us Hail as a hand is my mail The thrush is my love And the whale is a snail Sailors dance in a trance On the ocean Fairy lights in her eyes Tame the water With the morn we mount and ride Pilgrims of summer The swift is our guide Dazzle dawn man Mouthed with a smile Caution cloud lord Stay for a while You make us smile. |

Weeping willow woman
Ladled on the arm Of the misty coast of Albany With its charm Pining pillar of the wild willows end Womanly waiting For her manly friend. A star 'bove the mire is her husbandly choice Locked in his tower By the enchanted voice Of the Starguard Rhina With his lips soiled with gold He dares to loiter Near our lady bold. Once a heart was made and cast In molten love But t'was in realms of the past. |

Aah-ha, Aah-ha
Pewter suitor tangled in the bracken, Dancing daily with his gaily wavy baton, The wild cat wishing of The hissing wheels of fortune that are known, To rise beside us like A picture painted heartache of the home. La La La La etc. .... |

The evenings of Damask are falling
The youth of truth chest Feeds a starling With his heart. A chosen man begged by the wayside A horse came soon and died before him And said eat. The icy claws of earth are crawling Upon my baby's brow and calling Please come home. The boy unlike the man was smiling For gulleys, streams and hills would hide him Like a swan. A vagabond, a weaver warrior Produced a loom, a cheese and chopper And said choose. My sandled feet are fleet like water I kiss the limbs of Earthless daughter A little tree. |
