A Garret Poet: A Garret Poet

Samhain Drums

The Celtic drums of Samhain keep the beat
, as cauldrons overflow with magic rite,
open the gates for life and death to meet,
and let the Samhain blessings free tonight.
The dying candle flames are burning low,
as witches dance within their circle round,
where autumn’s fiery embers brightly glow,
their voices chanting echo magic sound,
and call the powers down to hallowed ground…

Winter Rises

From Samhain winter rises with the dawn,
a world of icy mists and frosty white
as summer days now seem so long withdrawn…

The Girl in My Heart

That day in December so long ago,
when words were said in hushed whispered voices,
hearsay and rumour, gossips full of woe,
the endless questions of personal choices,
and over cups of tea stern faces judged me.
My crime to love with naught but truth in heart,
their disapproving glances set me free,
the ‘blameless harridans’ set me apart,
and all I see is the girl in my heart….

Blessed Samhain

As darkness draws the sacred veil of night
and autumn wraps her cloak of vibrant leaves
the spirit world is closer to the light
as the dead gather in the autumn’s sleeves.
The dark mother in all her glory stands
as autumn’s beauty lifts our beating hearts
and like a spear of crimson blood commands
the fading Sun in farewell must depart,
as cold of winter pierces like a dart…
