Chapter 1

Lover:

“Let him kiss me with the power of his lips,

for his love is richer than the finest mead.

His scent rises like sacred incense on the altar,

and his name is a whisper of enchantment that stirs my soul.

Come to me, my beloved,

take me into the grove where we may lay beneath the stars,

and the Gods shall witness our union.”

Beloved:

“How radiant you are, my love,

as the full moon shines upon you.

Your body glows with the splendor of the sun,

and I long to trace the paths of your skin

as one would follow the stars in the night sky.

I will pull you into my embrace,

where we shall be bound by the ancient law of love.”

Chapter 2

Lover:

“Like a sacred oak standing tall in the forest,

so you stand among all others, my beloved.

I find shade beneath your strong arms,

and the sweetness of your love is my offering.

Let me taste the fruit of your body,

let us join together beneath the eyes of the Gods,

until I am lost in the ecstasy of our bond.”

Beloved:

“His left hand cradles my head,

his right hand holds me close,

and our bodies become one in the wild thrust of desire.

Do not awaken love before its time,

but now, beneath the full moon,

I surrender to the passion the Gods have kindled between us.”

Chapter 4

Lover:

“How handsome you are, my beloved!

Your body is carved from the stones of the earth,

strong and sacred beneath my touch.

Your chest is the altar upon which I lay my hands,

and your arms are the pillars that hold me to you.

With each caress, my desire for you grows,

and I burn with the fire that the Ancient Ones have stoked.”

Beloved:

“You have enchanted my heart, my lover,

with just a glance from your eyes,

with the sacred words you speak against my lips.

How sweet is your love,

more pleasurable than any earthly delight.

Your scent is like the forest after rain,

and I crave the touch of your skin against mine.”

Chapter 5

Lover:

“I opened myself to my beloved,

and he entered me as the Gods once entered the earth,

filling me with joy and sacred pleasure.

His hands moved over my body,

his lips found mine with a hunger as ancient as the earth itself.

His strength held me,

and I gave myself to him completely,

lost in the passion of our union beneath the stars.”

Beloved:

“His body is perfect, like a statue crafted by the hands of the Gods,

his thighs strong as the roots of the oldest trees.

His eyes are like the depths of the ocean,

and I am pulled into the tides of his love.

When we are joined, he fills me,

and my spirit soars with the pleasure of our connection.”

Chapter 7

Beloved:

“How radiant you are, my love!

Your body is a temple,

and I long to worship at your altar.

I trace the lines of your chest,

and feel the warmth of your skin beneath my hands.

Your manhood stirs like the sacred fires,

and I ache to take you into me,

to feel the divine pleasure that only you can give.”

Lover:

“Come to me, my beloved,

let me taste the sweetness of your love.

Your body is mine, and I will give you everything,

for no other man satisfies me as you do.

In the sacred grove, beneath the moon,

we shall join in passion,

until we are both spent and fulfilled by the fire of the Gods.”

Chapter 8

Beloved:

“Place me as a sigil upon your heart,

for our love is as eternal as the cycle of life and death,

and the flames of our desire burn hotter than the Beltane fires.

No water can extinguish our passion,

no mortal can tear us apart.

I am yours, and you are mine,

bound by the blessings of the Gods, now and forever.”
