Lesbian Poetry

Adrift of the Raven Haired Princess

Adrift of the Raven Haired Princess.

Her lover paces marble cliffs at their summit

Then slowly buries hands in a sorrow- lined face

Weep for she is the only beauty in life

Once they danced in the lilies that grew along an emerald shore

When brilliant diamond stars glittered over the ocean

In ages gone the sun banished them with jealous fire

Left their love to cry in smoldering flowers

Now the solitary moon sinks into perpetual night

Transparent ghost tendrils swirl unearthed

Hidden in ancient times before the gods of men separated them

Where her swelled heart pooling and enticing with sweetness in

Songs of the wind, is quietly dissolving into a milky sheen

Into breezes that twitter trees; covering the inky darkness

A tortured soul held hostage is spinning, tangling, drifting

Spirits appear in the mysts of steam rising in widespread mountains

Quieting the forest and enduring the emptiness of her absence

Leaving in their wake the sound of tears as waterfalls

The precipice calls with words of loneliness

She takes flight over the edge into an unending embrace
