Ruby Jewels Of Female Fire. Poem by Brian McBrand

Starlight, emerald bright, ruby jewels of female fire.
This holy Siren danced above - me full of desire.

And the summer's swath, like a moon moth, shimmering light.
She spun around me glowing rapture - and held me tight.

My heart erupted and higher into me she danced
That down deeper, down deep, to my soul she chanced

In me she lifted me, like so much feathery down.
Much higher and higher to highest clouds ever found.

To me her songs she sang in heavenly reverie
And then set me down gently - filled with her energy.

I have ne'er seen or felt again those ruby jewels of Fire.
And in that she left me with such wondrous desire.
