A Kiss, A Sacrifice

A Kiss, A Sacrifice

Autumn's kisses mingle here with trembling New Spring's madness
My throat is set upon the stone, At Winters table, supped too long

Witches singing in the woods with Violina's weeping songs
Pouring wine upon the ground and calling  blood red roses home

Your craz'ed music beckons me  from cold and sweating shadows now
This storm laced night when sirens cry and death and birth are unified

Sweet demon's spoonful offered up, cherished pure and sacred dram
Destroying lies and truths grown weary, faithful failings killed this land

My bloody heart beats wild and craving, waiting for the storm to come
Sweep away these dying embers, I give myself to Summer's Crown

                    - Chris Getz

a plea for reason, a cry from the mists..

You are surrounded by it

blazing glory crowns your head

every drop of liquid light

burns in suicidal abandon

for your eyes to see

for your ears to hear

open your eyes my friend

let the wonder of the glorious world

spill into your hollow heart

you have emptied the cup

now let the light of the carnival

fill you to overflowing

let the old masters keep their beads

you have the seeds and leaves

these prayers grown inch by inch

fall directly to ears of the Gods

every moment a meditaion

every breath a chant of glory

Do not let petty anger

cloud your seekers' eyes

tear away Perception's veil

See with your divining eye

wrap your soul with these words

shod your feet in dreams

    - Chris Getz

This is no night of flaming lanterns

Crystal rains have come and pass

The sky this night in silver shines

Diamond lamps to light Your path

Diviner’s fingers lit by pearl

Standing silent frozen still

Singing waters tell the tale

This night when stars

With mortals dwell
