She entranced the forest in search of bone
in search of wood and bone and briar
she entered the forest in search of wood
coming instead upon its fire
"What name?" she asked of the flame
as it grew ever and ever higher
"What name, my name, child?....Well, I
be called...I be called.. DESIRE"
She shadowed the forest in search of wood
in search of wood and bone and briar
she stalked the forest in search of bone
coming instead upon its mire
"Where are the bones? she asked, The
bones I seek and too so long aspire"
Replied the bog.."I have eaten the bones, lovely
each one, bones feed well my swampy FIRE"
She rambled the forest in search of bone
in search of wood and bone and briar
she roamed the forest in search of home
sinking instead to its DESIRE
Calling she " Oh Forest, Where can I rest;
rest my wearied and long DESIRE?" ...."Here,
here... echoed the forest, be it your bed
within the heart of my.. Sweet Rose Briar"
