Watching lovers walk on by
Falling leaves tumble down
Exposing lies and mendacity
Truth laid bare upon the ground
Branches kiss an innocent sky

You were the one who chose the game
And placed the pieces on the board.
You made your opening move.
Lies wrapped in Truth.
Wanted your Lover’s game darker.
Black Queen with sights set.
Picked up your sacrificial pawn.
You did not see the gambit
….until it was too late.
The silent Rook took flight
Swooped and took your white Knight.
Check Mate.
Game over

Alone in London, I stand by Tower Bridge. Old Father Thames hears my thoughts of you and how deeply I am falling. Wise is he, takes them rippling on the current down to the endless sea.
Somewhere far away in a Northern land, you are standing too, on your bridge of stone and steel beside a Castle Keep. Do I imagine that I hear you calling and feel you reaching through the ethers for my hand?
Day is fading and our City lights flicker into life. Do they hear the music of the night? And meet with moon beams upon the waters where both our ancient rivers flow? What stories do they share and what secrets do they know?
Perhaps they speak of Lovers hearts taking flight to meet upon the Bridge across forever. A special place, lost in time, where we come together. In the heat of the night, two rivers meet and our bodies entwine to dance upon the glory of the Tyne.

Does it matter who says Goodbye, when we both let love die? Will I remain with you as a memory? And will I think of you and what could not be? At the closing of our days, will we regret there was no other way? For I loved you deeply, I loved you well. The reality of life broke our Magick spell. Goodbye, my lover. Goodbye my friend. My heart is broken, we had to come to such an end.

Did she fascinate, charm and beguile? Maybe a distraction for just a while. Did she fill your thoughts in your waking hours and seep into your sleep. Before you knew, were you in too deep? Did she really have that power? With her faraway eyes, she saw other worlds, far beyond the veil. Was she for real or were you lonely and she was only a beautiful fairytale?

She gave him the keys to a hidden place, deep within the chambers of her heart. No Angel from above was he. Laughing at his wicked game, he pushed her hard, closed the door, took the keys and ran. Fallen from grace, head bowed in shame, she lay bleeding on the floor. No one heard her silent screams of pain or saw the tears falling, bitter rain. Fooled by an adept of the dark arts, left to die, a lonely prisoner to love.

I play our song on the piano, lyrics dancing in my head, sensuous and slow. Who knew those moments we shared so long ago, would one day live as sweet memories, long after love was dead.
Lady in red, what secrets you hide. Wearing a cloak of night, you seek dark delight. Do you go to his bed or light a fire in his head? Where do you reside? Heaven or hell, or are you just a figment of a succubus’ spell?
~Eily Nash
I loved him well, I loved him true
Something he just could not do
For to lay with me would be a sin
I knew he longed to touch my skin
Yet he kept me so far out of reach
Scared his defences I may breach
Passion’s flame burnt in his chest
Lustful thoughts gave him no rest
At last, of free will he came to me
Torn, tormented by his own misery
My beloved Mortal slipped into my bed
Offering his body, I took his soul instead
And down we went to the depths of hell
For he had fallen for a Succubus spell.

✨My Poetry is now available on iBooks on Apple and as Kindle & Paperback on Amazon ✨
Born of the Sun, the Moon and soft starlight
Her radiant beauty beguiled the very Night
Celestial gods and goddesses loved her dear
In the garden of her heart only love grew
Mortals caused pain and tears with their roses
Blackened with mendacious, vicious thorns
The thorns pierced her tender Angel heart
Deep scars causing her very soul to bleed
Drops of ruby red fell on cold, stony ground
Shattered seeds of all her broken dreams
Celestial Beings poured Light on the fragments of Her
And as a Firebird she rose from ashes and dust
Blazing a cosmic trail of magic and stardust.
Reborn, replenished, renewed, Restored
Flame haired beauty sang her Divine songs
Human hearts heard and wept their pain away
Into an infinite ocean of Her eternal Love
For She wore both Angel wings and a Goddess’ crown.

You desire to dance with the beguiling darkness and seek to know She who holds the magick of the Night? Beware what you wish for…Lest you will fall under a spell of fire & ice, heaven & hell. She wears the wings of Angels & Demons. She wears them well…

Does she read his words of love and pain, maybe even see her name bleeding from his poet’s pen? Hidden in the twilight world of their strange Lovers game, as it ends it begins again. 🖤

Autumn leaves are falling. Summer has long gone, fading into memories of the magic of a love that enchanted both Earth and Sky. What mortal hand can hold the dance of Dragonflies?
Not you, nor I.
Winter bids me time to sleep, The yearnings of Spring call to you.
Fly away, fly high, on gossamer wings, my Dragonfly.
Your seasons of passion change, my constant heart sings a song of eternal love.

Who is to blame
When passion’s flame
Begins to wane
Who will remember
The glowing embers
Of this Lovers game
In the ashes and dust
Of burnt out lust?
Eily Nash~2019
Deep within a magical wooded hollow
He beheld her, The Lady, standing there
Fading light upon her rich auburn hair.
Dressed in a delicate gown of Autumn brown
Slender fingers beckoned to him, follow
As they danced to the song of the rich earth
Leaves of burnished brown slowly fell down
Beneath a canopy of silvery soft starlight
And golden honeyed light of a Witch’s moon
Enchanted by the Lady of the Greenwood
The Lord of the forest, her consort that night.
Eily Nash ~ 2019
Do not fall in love with me
I do not exist in your reality
All you feel is just imaginary
In shadowlands do I dwell
A Sorceress casting spells
By skying arts I do foretell
Words you will not want to hear
And so will fall many bitter tears
Loving one from another Sphere
Eily Nash ~ 2019
Can you hear the song of the trees
Sweet notes of bronze, red and gold
Dreams of fire falling at your feet
Carried on the wings of the breeze
Gaia’s Autumn carpet gently unfolds
In the forest of hearts as Lovers meet
Eily Nash ~ 2019

I want no red roses, romance or vapid poetry. Perfume, gifts and jewellery, these things are not for me.
Put no rings upon my fingers, nor chains around my soul.
Bring me the dark heart of night, an Adepts power & passion’s flame burning bright within a pure white Lily flower.
Take me by the hand and walk along moonlit shores at the ebb tide of the sea, lay upon the shifting sands of time and bare your soul to me.
Then under a canopy of stars love me endlessly.

Beguiled by my burning flame
Little moth, play your game
Beware what you seek from me
My fire burns with the intensity
To destroy you and your desire
For I am forged from hell fire.
As the pull of the moon
On the tides of the sea
Memories of Her
And
Love that was lost
Ebb and flow upon
The empty shores
Of his lonely heart

I am hugely honoured and excited to share with my readers the work of modern Poet, Stefan Fountouris . This beautiful man writes words of love deeply from his heart and in doing so touches other hearts, minds and speaks to Souls. His muse is the beautiful and enigmatic Edi. What a perfect gift of Love to be immortalised in poetry ✨
To the summer sky
I sang from
Eclipsing stone circle
I sang to the stars
To the moon
Until the sky darkened
Too soon and every
Star stood in clear lines
I stood in awe
Counting the lights
When love came
To me lifting me high
Into the night sky
Like a butterfly….

An ancient Dragon bellowed her last flame.
She wondered if life would ever be the same?
The fire in her belly had slowly died.
Tears fell, her heart cried.
Would she descend into gnarly old age,
Or cease to exist without desires and burning rage?
~Eily Nash 2019

Lady in your tower so high
Shard of glass piercing sky
Do you search for me below
Where the timeless river flows
Imprisoned in clouds and steel
Who knows how you really feel
You have no wings to flee captivity
To sail with me upon an endless sea

I cried and I tried but I just can’t hold it in
All the pain
I scream when I dream all these thoughts in my head
They keep haunting me
Breathing
Breathing in these things
The clock on the wall keeps looking back at me
Why are you screaming
The hurt well I tucked it away underneath
Well I still feel everything
Crawl every time but you won’t see me
I’m hiding from me
All of the pain that feels you why you bleed
There’s time to breath
Breathing
Breathing in these things
Why does a heart start to bleed when it needs too much
Does it ever fade
Why do we love more than love holding onto it at all
Do you love the pain
Breathing
Breathing in these in things
Breathing
Breathing in these things
Breathing
Breathing in these things
Breathing
Breathing in these things

Edendene Books is hugely proud to host another guest post from talented Texan, Randy.
Sometimes we fall
Sometimes we die a little
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we ache so much inside
We want to run, we try to hide
But something draws us from our darkness
Keeps us warm and soothes our heartache
It feels like home
Like a child in mother’s arms again
We know this feeling from our past
We hope this healing surely lasts
It touches us all over
Lifts us up out of our sorrow
Holds us tight into tomorrow
It feels like love
It feels like everything is better
Can this be true
We won’t know until we do
It a risk we have to take
From this dream we must awake
It feels like love
From the heavens up above
It’s a risk we have to take
From this dream we shall awake
I know it’s true
I was meant to be with you
It feels like home
It feels like everything we wished for
Awaits us just outside the door
It’s a risk we have to take
We mustn’t think its a mistake
It feels like love
From the heavens up above
It’s a risk we have to take
From this dream we shall awake
Be with me now and forever
You’re the one I’m looking for
Help me open up the door
It feels like home
Please take me home

Her soul journey had been long
Many paths had left their mark
The Sacred, liminal & the arcane
Through the Light and the Dark
She had met both right & wrong
But refused to greet the profane…

A distant luminous star
Secretly loved from afar
Such was she to me…
Her Adagio flowed
Con Amore
Con Amore
Soothing Soul
Seared scars
His Tears flowed
Con Amore
Con Amore
~Eily Nash
She cried out into the night
And hearing her pain
He sent her Love Light
Making her whole again…
By kiss of night
And soft starlight
In a gossamer gown
She stood entranced
Invoking triple trinity
Magick in her hands
A whispered invocation
Drawing down The Moon

Wandering in the woods today,
I heard the wisdom of the Fae,
“Beware the games people play!”
How true, the untruths people say!
Tinkling laughter, so bright & gay.
Smiling, I went merrily on my way.

Secret words of love
Whispered waves washing
Upon the shore of her soul
~EilyNash
I have a deep love for Yeats sublime poem “Aedh Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven” from his collection “The Wind Among The Reeds” (published in 1988) as well as for the Pre-Raphaelites and these lush paintings by Edward Robert Hughes are just perfect…
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
~W.B Yeats~
I have a passion for poetry, I’d like to share some of my favourite works for you to enjoy, I’d love to hear your favourites too!
She was both a gentle breeze on a soft summer day and the raging wild west wind.
What hope had he of taming her when she was born to be free…
When the pain became too much to bear,
He banished her to the dark recesses of his mind.
By being viciously unkind he could pretend to himself he didn’t care.
But she knew, and let him be, for such was their strange love.
Eily Nash
The Lady beckons to you beguilingly. Obsidian eyes, flashing danger and delight. Her smile, enigmatic, promising delicious secrets to be shared. Tresses of sun kissed silken strands of gold, a river flowing down her innocent back. Mixed messages carried on an air of danger. Fascinated, intrigued you draw near.
She is an enigmatic paradox, formed from Light and Dark. Blessed by sunlight’s golden rays and kissed by the midnight hour, black magick and the devil’s claw. Heavenly Angel, hellfire Demon.Was her Soul star born in the fiery firmaments above or forged somewhere north of Midnight?
Her essence envelopes you. She is not physically there, yet she is everywhere. On your skin, in your mind, you feel her Presence. Bringing both delights and torments. You love her. You hate her. Want her and need her, repulsed at meeting the devil within fearing possession you push her away.
Is she a Succubus, or a figment of fragmented wanton lust rampaging through the caverns of your ravaged mind? Or is she a witch, adept at the Dark Arts and enchantment has placed you under her eternal spell? ✨

The precipice, a perilous place, far beyond the safe confines of the city walls and the hinterlands of right and wrong.
Inexorably pulled to the edge of decision, Chase stood hypnotised by angry crashing waves, pounding heart beats upon a lonely shore.
Far out to sea, he heard her call. Siren. Temptress. One leap forward into the unknown, falling, tumbling into her dark depths and he would be free to ride upon passion’s tumultuous waves.
Or one step back from the beckoning, beguiling edge of danger…one step back into the barren wastelands of his life.
Eily Nash ~2019
Firm upon the rich dark earth I do stand,
My seeking arms reaching up to touch dove grey skies.
Softly, slowly raindrops fall and still I call.
Dancing, chanting, singing, weaving until
A sheet of rain falls down upon my silken sky clad skin.
With a singing heart, this child of Gaia smiles,
Showered by love and blessings from above
Knowing she has summoned, you…
Her one true love.✨

Beguiled by my burning flame
Little moth, play your game
Beware what you seek from me
My fire burns with the intensity

Night ends with
A kiss, a promise
You have gone
Your sensuous scent
Lingers on my skin
Leaving me Intoxicated
Drunk on Love for you …
© Eily Nash
My true love gave to me a rose.
Intoxicated by the sweetness of its scent
I did not feel the thorns ripping my flesh,
Until my soul fled…
Leaving my wounded heart to bleed.
© Eily Nash
Laying down his head to sleep
Knew he was in far too deep
He met her on the field of dreams
Where nothing is as it truly seems
Infatuation, love, lust and insanity
Was she for real or just a fantasy
Day tried to steal night’s magic away
She danced in his mind, work and play
Waiting for the witching Midnight hour
To cast the spell of love’s magic power
© Eily Nash
She cried out in the night
He was the one who heard
But chose to turn his back
She lay broken on the floor
Whilst he just walked away
Alone, she tends her wounds
Her tears may fall, bitter rain
She is woman, she will rise…
Taking silken gossamer threads
The word weaver wove them into
A beautiful sensual illusion of Love
Until the fabric of dreams lay
Tattered and torn on vicious thorns
Of reality…
© Eily Nash ~2019
The girl you once knew, oh so very long ago
Comes unbidden, dancing into your thoughts
Laughing and playing as if it were yesterday
Fragrant fragments of moments caught in time.
Do you recall the innocent sweetness of it all…
And hear distant whispers of a long forgotten Love
Where did the magic go? What could have been?
Questions without answers destined to always be
Nothing more than scattered seeds, dandelion dreams
Carried across the lonely landscape of your mind.
©Eily Nash ~ 2019
She was the fire and ice of diamonds, the red and gold dance of passion’s flame.
Sending him Solar flares, enticing him to unlock her many secrets and damping his ardour with sheet rain when he came too close.
Would he ever find the key that lay hidden somewhere beneath the arctic glaciers guarding her fragile heart?
She was a complicated paradox.
…and he loved her for it…
Eily Nash ~2019
I am delighted to welcome a super guest to Edendene Books and share with you all this beautiful poem on the beauty and magic of nature by my Texan Twitter friend Just~Randy😎 @jafah2012
Each day as I walk
I hear the trees and their talk
I listen to their stories
And marvel at their glories
For they’ve weathered each storm and greeted every moon
And yet they still stand tall full in bloom
Sometimes they whisper
Others they stand still
But they never steer me wrong
And my walks seem less long..
🌿🍃🌿✨🌿🍃🌿✨🌿🍃🌿
Beautiful image supplied by Randy.
He was a Hero, battle scarred and worn.
Heart frozen in the hinterlands of winter.
Feelings imprisoned under lock and key
Eyes unable to leave behind sights unseen
Inside, the silent scream trapped in his mind
Tainted by filthy dirt and detritus of mankind
A fallen Angel, broken wings ravaged and torn.
Until he met her, the girl with faraway eyes.
Her smile held the promise of Summer days
Beguiled by beauty, trusting in innocent love
He stepped from the darkness into her Light
Intrigued by the mysteries of night, he followed
Golden fireflies into the heart of her forest
They danced, sang and drank sacred wine
By firelight they lay beneath a Harvest moon
Earth and Sky became one in Hieros Gamos
He arose from the forest floor, a fallen Angel
Sanctified, restored by Grace, soared once more
~Eily Nash 2019
No words, nothing was said
Just the feeling Love was dead
No tears, no blame, a crying shame
Saw the truth, just playing games
Trust could not live there anymore
Guarded hearts close open doors
Eily Nash ~2019
As the moon pulls the tides of the seas and the oceans, do you feel me, my love, coming to you as warm waves washing upon the shores of your dreams?
I bring to you unspoken driftwood gifts of love, trust and eternal devotion for you to find upon the shifting sands of your lonely shore.
Do you feel the essence of me, playing softly on your skin, dancing and delighting in you, my touch silken as a soft moonbeam.
And in your waking hours will you remember fragments of a fragrant dream, where we danced on water beneath a Lovers moon?
~Eily Nash 2019
Lost in the forests of the night
No sun, no moon or soft starlight
Lonely life but a waking dream
No one hears the silent scream
Searching for the hand of Grace
Reaching down to this heavy place
Fragile heart broken beyond repair
Fragments scattering into the air
Fall bleeding onto the forest floor
Broken body and lost soul no more
Eily Nash~2019
If I asked you to dance
Would you dance with me?
If I asked you to sing
Would you sing to my tune?
If I asked you heal me
Would you heal your scars?
If I asked you to kiss me
Would we touch the stars?
If I asked do you love me
Would it be too soon?
Eily Nash ~2019
Knowing you did me wrong
I penned the lyrics to a song
Oh the sweetest agony
Of your truth and lies
Behind innocent eyes
You played me hot
You played me cold
Who would you choose
Could I bear to lose?
Was it her? Was it me?
Was I your Queen
Was she your scene?
What are you to me?
A bittersweet symphony.
~Eily Nash~
Lost in the forest of dreams
She walked in the shadows
Wrapped in velvet night
A blessed cloak of darkness
Soothing her unquiet Soul
~Eily Nash 2018
The sun rises
I breathe
I laugh
I cry
I die
The sun sets
I am gone
Leaving the River of life
To flow on…
~Eily Nash~2018
Beguiled by her terrible beauty
And the lure of Obsidian eyes
I followed her essence willingly
Into a midnight velvet world
Only to find my beloved’s heart
Forged in a foundry of darkness
Somewhere North of Midnight
Had captured my eternal soul
Eily Nash~2018
If I were to slip away from you,
As a Shade in the night,
Would you hear my silence
Carried on the wings of regret?
Eily Nash~2018
When the Music stops
Your name plays on…
For you are the notes
In every love song…
Eily Nash -2018
Hidden in my heart
There is a magic field
Where wildflowers grow
From the scattered seeds
Of all my broken dreams…
Eily Nash (2018)
A Haiku…
Love’s Secret Desire
Kept Safe Hidden Within
Heart’s Locked Repository
Eily Nash~2018
Deep in the dark caverns of your mind
Thoughts threatening to capsize you
A small boat without safe harbour
Lost upon a vengeful and merciless sea …
My heart has heard your cries of pain
Felt the heavy burden of unspoken words
Weighing you down with secrets untold
Brought to me on the wings of the wind…
And as a Lighthouse in the darkness
Allow me cast Hope upon your despair
Come find your way back home to me
For just one moment in time, stand still…
We shall drink in the sweetness of life
Smile at bees and wild flowers dancing
Walk through tall meadow grass
Listening to love whisper in the trees…
For the magic of nature feels
The yearning of your heart
And I, your Soul friend, reach out
And silently say “I know…”
© Eily Nash 2018
© Eily Nash 2018
At the Twilight of the day
When the sun dies away
I see you standing there
Fading light upon your hair…
Feel me reach for your hands
Across time’s shifting sands
Beloved, come to me, I implore
Our Souls entwined evermore
Do I yearn for you in vain?
Do you not suffer as I do?
Hear me cry, feel my pain!
My aching Soul calls to you!
At the dying of the light
And the coming of the night
Like the ebb tide of the sea
You fade away from me…
© Eily Nash
You put a smile on your face
But it can’t hide that place
Behind your fathomless eyes
Where such deep sadness lies
All those secrets you hold
And stories never to be told
Your emotions under control
Pain searing your Innocent Soul…
I look and have eyes to see
For what is in you, is in me.
© Eily Nash ~ 2018
When Two Worlds Collide
Behind innocent words
And Fathomless eyes
Silent Expectations Spark
Flames Of Secret Desire …
This beautiful & evocative painting is in the National Gallery of Ireland
By the light of a fire burning bright
The Lady sought love in the night
Desire ignited within her dark eyes
She went to him with innocent guise
In his chamber her Lord did wait
With his black heart full of hate
After Hearts and bodies did entwine
He gave her a goblet of ruby wine
The venom brought her to the floor
He told his wife he loved her no more
It was another who set him aflame
He was callous and without shame
As the poisoned wine her life did take
A final promise she did make
Beyond the grave, his cruel crime
He would rue until the end of time
♥~♥~♥

Lady Lily Flame
My Lady, My Love, My Lily Flame
Do you wear a sullied cloak of shame
Has purity and innocence taken flight
To the beguiling dark embrace of Night
Nyx and Erebus, alluring, starless charms
Mists enticing you into seductive arms
My Lady, My Love, My Lily Flame
Guileless innocence, without blame
Deny the Ferryman his Stygian fee
From Thanatos tenebrous domain flee
By flames of Winter burning bright
Take safe passage through the night
My Lady, My Love, My Lily Flame
Capricious gods may play Night’s game
Gates of the rising sun light the way
To sanctuary of Hemera’s breaking day
Purified by the kiss of the Morning Dew
Absolution and Benediction fall on you
