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

And the wolves were still roaming wild
The great spirit sang first high and then low

With one in the west and one in the east
A whole world away from finding the one

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
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

Each step a little closer
For one day soon
They’ll be together

Together forever

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

Their hearts beating
Faster day by day
Like a drum of thunder
Never fading away

The lone wolves howl
Their lonesome cry

Can you feel the heart beat
The shadows creeping
Till they meet eye to eye

Their hearts beating
Faster day by day
Like a drum of thunder
Never fading away

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
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

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
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
Ghost Dance Song Lyrics
Verse 1
Caught in a dream
Hunting for love

To create their future’s

An old fashioned romance

It’s a Ghost Dance
Can you take a chance
Only love will set you free

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

Pre Chorus
Let’s not dream about it
Gotta scream and shout it

There gonna be together
Always and forever
You’ve gotta believe!
Chorus
It’s a Ghost dance

Yeah!
Chorus

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
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
