The Love Hunt Poem

 

Long, long ago, when the world was young

And was fashioned for forming new life,

Upon those lands, the Great Spirit Sung

The Song of Green Nature grown rife.

Then, when the World of the Wolf was Wild

With the growth of great grasses and trees,

Each Primal creature was born as First Child

Of all of the Creatures Man sees.

And the Great Spirit sang, low and then high;

From these notes, Male and Female were born:

The very first Bird to fly in the sky,

And the very first Mouse in the corn.

And thus the First Wolves were created,

In the beginning, both Cruelly Cursed,

For both were set apart and fated

To Hunt for True Love – their Last and First.

With one in the West and one in the East;

For a whole world away was their fate,

Each with the hunger to hunt and to feast

On the Love of a lonely Soul- Mate.

Marrok, the He-Wolf, paced in the West,

All alone with the mountains and trees,

Whilst She-Wolf Canina, prowled as best

She could in the East, where tundra’s freeze.

Such was the Doom of these Souls of the Snow,

Such was the plight of these Lovers unmet,

To Prowl and to Howl and still yet to know

The Lick of the Love they hadn’t had yet.

Such was this Cosmic game of cruel chance,

In Casting these Souls as poles apart;

Hunting each other in a lonely dance –

By Light of the Moon and Beat of the Heart!

Love Hunt Song Lyrics

Verse 1:

Long Long ago when the world was still young

And the wolves were still roaming wild

The great spirit sang first high and then low

From these notes male and female were born

Verse 2:

Both cruelly cursed and placed apart

With one in the west and one in the east

A whole world away from finding the one

With a hunger to hunt and to feast

Pre Chorus:

All alone and roaming the earth

In search of a soul mate to love

Marrok and Canina their fate

Is sealed from above

Chorus:

Hunting for love like a Saxon Wolf

Looking for love like a Saxon Wolf

Hungry for love like a Saxon Wolf

Dreaming of love like a Saxon Wolf

Verse 3:

Out in the east driven by passion

She Treks through tundra’s freeze

He’s all alone out in the west

Surrounded by mountains and trees

Verse 4:

A cosmic game of cruel chance

Their souls cast poles apart

Hunting for love in a lonely dance

Counting each beat of their hearts 

Pre Chorus:

All alone and roaming the earth

In search of a soul mate to love

Marrok and Canina their fate

Is sealed from above

Hunting for love like a Saxon Wolf

Looking for love like a Saxon Wolf

The Moon Curse Poem

 

The She-Wolf, Canina, has begun

Her quest to quench her fiery passion,

And seek for the Mate – the Only One

Who by his Will, her Love can fashion.

In the Russian Steppe, across the waste

Of the Arctic Wilds, she lopes alone,

With gnawing need to ravage and taste

Something far more than Flesh, Blood or Bone.

She sneaks through the snow, slides through the sleet,

Her breath a cold fog, coiled in her mane;

Cool though her head, her Heart is the Heat

That fires the furnace of Love’s Hot Pain.

This, the First Moon, New Sickle-slither,

She now attends, as friend of the Night,

That will like her, flourish then wither,

Waxing then waning, then Gone from Sight.

This, the First Month of her Lunar Life,

Not yet knowing, that hunt as she might,

With urgent need to be a Wolf-Wife,

She only Lives by curse of Moon-Light.

For such the Great Spirit has decreed,

That the Wolf would be blessed most of all,

With Life-Long-Love beyond normal need,

With a Love to Bewitch and Enthral.

But to earn such Love, each has to seek

For the other, a Wide World apart;

And only by Moon, can Love Unique

As theirs, be Married, as Heart to Heart.

Canina then found herself growing weak,

As the Full Moon faded, so did she;

And in the West, where Marrok did seek;

As His Full Moon waned, so did he!

Moon Curse Song Lyrics

Verse 1

On a quest across the Arctic wilds

Seeking flesh, blood or bone

Verse 2

Through the snow and the sleet she slides

Her heart is the heat

That fires the flame

Chorus

The moon’s curse

Is love’s hot pain

With nothing to loose

And all to gain

The moon’s curse

It’s the devils game

He’s the one I choose

with my love to tame

Verse 3

A friend of the night

She travels alone

With love in her sights

Verse 4

Both growing weak

As the full moon fades

Separated by days

Chorus

The Moon’s Curse

Is love’s hot pain

With nothing to loose

And all to gain

The Moon’s Curse

It’s the devils game

He’s the one I choose

with my love to tame

Verse 5

By the light of the moon

She’ll be searching for you

Run out of time

Don’t know what to do

Solo

Chorus

The moon’s curse

Is love’s hot pain

The moon’s curse

It’s the devils game

The moon’s curse

He’s the one I choose

with my love to tame

The Dream Drink Poem

 

The He-Wolf, Marrok, First of the Race,

Of Wolves of the World, howls in the West,

Alone and unloved, on Earth to pace

Ever by Moon-Light, on True Love’s Quest.

Although alone, he’s not unknowing,

For deep in his breast burns the bright flame

That glows and guides him, onward going,

To seek the Love that he’s yet to name.

Somewhere out there, in the world waiting,

Lives the Love that is keen to be found,

That like him, is Hunting and Hating

Time that is wasted, on barren ground.

As their East and West Moons wane away,

And their First Moon-less Nights so begin,

So too, these Wolves, unable to stay,

Fade away in the Night, Dark as Sin.

Each Month they appear ever nearer,

As the New Moon begins, so do they,

With each Waxing Moon getting Clearer,

And with each Waning Moon, growing grey.

And each Month that passes they’re getting

Much nearer and nearer to the date

That is set as the Fate that is letting

Them meet under Moon of their Mate.

Canina appears on a Mountain,

While Marrok appears by a River,

The Source of this being the Fountain

That Springs like a Snake that does slither.

Both bend to take Drink of Cool Water,

One on high from the silvery stream,

The other low down by the broader

Great River – but both – the Same Dream!

Dream Drink Song Lyrics

Intro

All alone and unloved

Guided by the moonlight

Somewhere out there

A new life awaits

Getting much nearer

To their soul mate

Pre Chorus

He came from the west

She came from the east

Their love’s been put to the test

Chorus

Don’t fade away

Into the night

Don’t fade away

It’s almost daylight

Don’t fade away

Keep up the fight

Don’t fade away

Don’t fade away

Verse 3

A new moon begins

The sky is clear

There’s no longer anything

Anything to fear

Verse 4

You take a drink

You still want more

It’s no longer a dream

That you’re looking for

Pre Chorus

He came from the west

She came from the east

Their love’s been put to the test

Chorus

Don’t fade away

Into the night

Don’t fade away

It’s almost daylight

Don’t fade away

Keep up the fight

Don’t fade away

Don’t fade away

Verse 5

Just follow the river

That looks like a snake

To meet under the moonlight

That is your fate

Verse 6

Marching on

Through the wild

Each step a little closer

For one day soon

They’ll be together

Together forever

Together forever

Chorus

Don’t fade away

Into the night

Don’t fade away

It’s almost daylight

Don’t fade away

Keep up the fight

Don’t fade away

Don’t fade away

Chorus

Don’t fade away

Into the night

Don’t fade away

It’s al-right

Don’t fade away

The future is bright

Don’t fade away

Don’t fade away

Don’t fade away

Tonight

The Heart Beat Poem

 

The full moon at midnight is riding

Up there high in the sky, in the clouds;

Sometimes it is seen, sometimes hiding

In grey tatters of clouds as its’ shrouds.

So lost in the silvery moonlight,

Like a soul cast away on the seas,

Those deep, inky oceans of dark night,

Is this moon, and the howl, in the breeze

That blows through the great forest brooding,

Far beneath the cold, moon-shattered sky,

Where a lone wolf howls, there intruding

With her song into wind’s lonesome cry.

For there, sings the she-wolf Canina,

With her howl and her heart and her hope;

For she thought he might just have seen her,

The He-Wolf she once saw, who did lope

Far away, as a shadow that shuddered,

As a brief, fading dream of the heart

That beat like a drum that had thundered

For a while before Lovers must part.

But this dream was more than the yearning

Of a Lover for Love to unite,

For held in her mind brightly burning

Was that glimpse of her Love in the night.

As the last hint of moon had vanished,

Just as she too was fading away,

By absence of moon being banished,

There she saw the faint, flickering grey

Of the Wolf she knew she was needing,

Her True-Love who she knew she would meet,

By fact of her sharing the speeding

Of True-Love’s insistent heart-beat.

Heart Beat Song Lyrics

 

Verse 1

Now you hear the heart beat

It’s a full moon at midnight

Riding high tonight

Verse 2

Can you feel the heart beat

Far beneath the cold

Moon-shattered sky

Pre chorus

Their hearts beating

Faster day by day

Like a drum of thunder

Never fading away

Chorus

Take your love

Listen to your heart beat

Take your love

And your souls will meet

Take your love

Hear the cry of the wind

Take your love

You’ll never know what you might find

Verse 3

Can you hear the heart beat

The lone wolves howl

Their lonesome cry

Verse 4

Can you feel the heart beat

The shadows creeping

Till they meet eye to eye

Pre chorus

Their hearts beating

Faster day by day

Like a drum of thunder

Never fading away

Chorus

Take your love

Listen to your heart beat

Take your love

And your souls will meet

Take your love

Hear the cry of the wind

Take your love

You’ll never know what you might find

Solo

Pre chorus

Their hearts beating

Faster day by day

Like a drum of thunder

Never fading away

Chorus

Take your love

Listen to your heart beat

Take your love

Your souls will meet

Take your love

Hear the cries of the wind

Take your love

Take your love

Why don’t you take your love

Take your love

Why don’t you take your love

Tonight

The Soul Mate Poem

 

Meanwhile, far away and at mid-night,

Marrok too, has concerns for his mind;

Is it lost like the frost, at day-light,

Cracked and crossed with a cold so unkind?

He’s searched for so long and is weary,

As sleepless, he has howled through the night,

And cursed with a vision now bleary

In the winter-white, snowy, dawn light.

Now high on a hill he is hunting,

But so silent and still and alone,

And with eyes and ears he is hoping

To find Love he would have as his own.

He knows that out there, in the blindness,

Of blizzard and of blistering gale;

Out there lives the Love that brings kindness,

Of a Mate to this blustering Male.

Out there in the world there is waiting,

And as yet, as unknown and un-named,

A creature created for mating

And for taming this creature, un-tamed.

And he knows this, he knows this as certain,

As he knows of the scent of the prey,

Of perfume of blood and black curtain

Of night’s death that drops down on the day.

For he has been cursed with a vision,

Or been blessed, by his heart, he can’t tell,

He is held in thrall – indecision –

Is this Love now a Heaven – or Hell?

He Howls and he Hurts but continues,

In pure trust to the tryst with his fate,

By power of muscles and sinews,

To Hunt and to find his – Soul-Mate.

Soul Mate Song Lyrics

 

Verse 1

His search is long and weary

Is he loosing his mind

Lost like the frost at daylight

Crossed with a winter so unkind

Verse 2

High on a hill he is hunting

So silent, so still, so alone

Blinded by the blizzards

Hoping for love of his own

Pre chorus

Cursed with a vision of love

Is this heaven or hell

Can he see into the future

Or is he too blinded to tell

Chorus

Looking for a soul mate

Ain’t as easy as it seems

Playing all your cards

In a house of broken dreams

Looking for a soul mate

The road is long and tough

It can take a life time

But is this time enough

Verse 3

Out there in the world

She is waiting

A creature untamed

And made for mating

Verse 4

Hunting and howling

He stalks his prey

All through the night

And into the day

Hunting and howling

She makes her way

Towards the light

That wont fade away

Pre chorus

Cursed with a vision of love

Is this heaven or hell

Can he see into the future

Or is he too blinded to tell

Chorus

Looking for a soul mate

Ain’t as easy as it seems

Playing all your cards

In a house of broken dreams

Looking for a soul mate

The road is long and tough

It can take a life time

But is this time enough

Solo

Chorus

Looking for a soul mate

Don’t you know what it means

Baring your soul

To keep chasing your dreams

Looking for a soul mate

The road can get too tough

It can take a lifetime

Will that time be enough

Soul mate

Soul mate

The Star Fall Poem

 

Deep in a forest, feeling angry,

All alone, with no one beside her

She’s hunched on her haunches and hungry

For the love so often denied her.

She lies under moon-light and star-beams,

She is tired, but unable to sleep,

As she gazes through branches and dreams

Of the Wolf that she wishes to keep.

The trellis of trees up above her,

They all criss-cross the sky like a net,

To capture the one that could love her,

The Lone-Wolf that her heart can’t forget.

So close he had come, and more clearly,

More than ever before, he’d appeared,

As silhouette shape who had dearly

Whispered one word, as to her he neared.

She thought she had caught but a murmur,

A brief whisper of one fervent word,

And she prayed it would now confirm her

Deep belief in the word she had heard.

The World, it is spinning so slowly,

So slowly and so distant and far,

And she feels so lost and so lowly,

As she gazes at a twinkling star.

And the star, it seems to be growing,

It seems to loom larger and nearer,

As she watches it slowly showing

The face of a wolf growing clearer.

Is it memory, magic or dreaming,

A sweet dream that’s been caught from above,

And brought to her now, that is seeming

To murmur it’s meaning of – Love?

Star Fall Song Lyrics

 

Verse 1

All alone with no one beside her

She is hungry for love

Verse 2

So close he has come

To finding his love

Travelling through the night

He will not give up

Chorus

Waiting for the stars to fall

She’ll be there for you

Gazing at the stars tonight

He’ll be waiting for you

Watching the stars above

Dreaming of their love

Verse 3

Stars passing in the sky

The world is spinning slowly

As she gazes up above

She feels so lost and lonely

Verse 4

One star is growing

Seems to be much nearer

What is it showing

Her wolf’s face growing clearer

Chorus

Waiting for the stars to fall

She’ll be there for you

Gazing at the stars tonight

He’ll be waiting for you

Watching the stars above

Dreaming of their love

Will they meet under the moon

Or will it be too late too soon

Chorus

Waiting for the stars to fall

She’ll be there for you

Gazing at the stars tonight

He’ll be waiting for you

Watching the stars above

Dreaming of their love

Will they meet under the moon

Or will it be too late too soon

The Ghost Dance Poem

 

Canina, at last is now sleeping,

Just as elsewhere Grey Marrok sleeps too,

Both caught in a dream where they’re leaping

Together in a dream now come true.

Two Wolves in a magical landscape,

Where they playfully bite, growl and grunt,

A vivid and colourful dreamscape,

Where together they roam on love-hunt.

Two Wolves stand together in moon-light,

Side by side, with no need to converse,

As beneath a full moon, with delight,

Mind to mind, they are freed from moon-curse.

Two Wolves at a river together,

Where they stoop at the wide river’s brink,

Where waters and they lap forever,

As together they take their dream-drink.

Two Wolves with their hearts beating madly,

As together they love and they greet

The family of cubs that they gladly

There create for their future’s heart-beat.

Two Wolves with two souls that co-mingle,

As two suns that collide and create,

Each a pair and no longer single,

Now united as mate to soul-mate.

Two Wolves that are two constellations,

Where the stars have all gathered in thrall,

To the spell of love’s aspirations,

As from sky they now start their star-fall.

Canina awakes with the sunrise,

As Grey Marrok does too, in a trance,

Has it been but a tissue of lies,

A Dream-Catcher’s Dream – A ghost-dance?

Ghost Dance Song Lyrics

 

Verse 1

Caught in a dream

Hunting for love

Free from the moons curse

They take a

Dream drink together

To create their future’s

Heart Beat

Pre Chorus

Let’s not dream about it

Gotta scream and shout it

Common do the dance with me

There gonna be together

Always and forever

You’ve gotta believe

Chorus

It’s a Ghost dance

An old fashioned romance

Come and take a trip with me

It’s a Ghost Dance

Can you take a chance

Only love will set you free

It’s a Ghost Dance

They’re caught in a trance

No more reality

Verse 3

Two suns collide

And create

To unite you with your

Soul Mate

The stars standing tall

As they begin their

Star fall

Pre Chorus

Let’s not dream about it

Gotta scream and shout it

Common do the dance with me

There gonna be together

Always and forever

You’ve gotta believe!

Chorus

It’s a Ghost dance

An old fashioned romance

Come and take a trip with me

It’s a Ghost Dance

Can you take a chance

Only love will set you free

It’s a Ghost Dance

They’re caught in a trance

No more reality

Solo 

Chorus

It’s a Ghost dance

An old fashioned romance

Come and take a trip with me

It’s a Ghost Dance

Can you take a chance

Only love will set you free

Yeah!

Chorus

It’s a ghost dance

An old fashioned romance

It’s a ghost dance

Common take a chance

Well it’s a ghost dance

It’s a ghost dance

It’s a reality

 

The Love Leap Poem

Dawn slowly in splendour arises,

As the moon slowly sinks in its sea;

Lady Luna smiles and surmises,

From their curse, soon her wolves, will be free.

Each side of a valley are waking,

Her two wolves, who have dreamed through the night,

Sweet dreams that would leave their hearts breaking,

Were it not for what now lies in sight. 

Canina peers out ‘cross the valley

Where she sees what apparently seems

To be the grey wolf that is fully

As alive as the one in her dreams. 

And Marrok is likewise so smitten,

In stunned disbelief at the view

Of the wolf in dreams he had bitten

With the bite of a love now come true. 

With joy and great bellows resounding,

They rush down to the river below,

With hearts beating faster and pounding,

They must leap to the love they must know. 

But high in the sky there is flying

In the form of a black feathered bird,

The Dark Goddess Eris, there spying –

Spirit of Strife – to have the last word. 

The wolves reach the banks of the river;

Without pause they both give a great leap,

Compelled to collide and forever

Be together awake or asleep. 

Each wolf aims at heart of their lover;

Jealous Eris, cries out a new curse;

The Wolves pass like ghosts through each other

And vanish away into worse!

Love Leap Song Lyrics

  

Verse 1

As dawn arises

The moon slowly sinks

Into the sea

Lady Luna smiles

Soon here wolves

Will be free

Verse 2

Both slowly waking

They have dreamed through the night

Sweet dreams

Their hearts breaking

They have each other in sight

Chorus

Take the leap of love

Keep the faith

And it will set you free

Take a leap of faith

Let your dreams

Become reality

Take the leap

The leap of love

Verse 3

He stands tall

Across the valley

More alive

Than in her dreams

She’s now caught

In his sights

Verse 4

Aiming at

Each others heart’s

They leap

Towards each other

Passing

Like ghosts in the night

Chorus

Take the leap of love

Keep the faith

And it will set you free

Take a leap of faith

Let your dreams

Become reality

Take the leap

The leap of love
