Come dance in the garden with Lilith and Pan. There's a lord for each lady, a maid for each man. The sound of their piping will banish all care. Come dance in the gardens-- they wait for you there. Come dance with each stranger, and love one, perchance. A faint wisp of danger is lost in the dance, For a cool breeze will pardon each maid and each man That dance in the garden With Lilith and Pan. Now evening flows in and the dusk-shadows rise, but we still are drawn on by the sparks of his eyes. There are creeper and vine our swift feet to ensnare, but we twirl on, enmeshed in the swirl of her hair. We weave to their power and crush underfoot each grass-blade and flower, each thistle and root. Cicada and cricket all join the pavane as we dance in the thicket with Lilith and Pan. Now the two lead us on to the depths of the wood, While our hands start to stray and our kisses draw blood. With thigh and breast pressing their flesh-hungry claims, we circle, caressing the rim of the flames. The flames toss and flicker, they weave their web higher, they whisper and snicker of lust and desire. It's high time for turning, escape, if you can, or dance in the burning with Lilith and Pan.

Hi Ted, Glad to see you submit this one. As I recall, it was one of the first poems I read and fell in love with when I first joined the PIP family. Also glad to see you edited so we can vote. Thanks, Pete |
