speechless

awe brushes tenderly my cheek
softening my gaze
upon this precious
life
amazing creature that you are
embodiment of love
becoming beauty

green

green
 
today i learned one thing
that when the precious vessel fell
it wasn’t pushed, or tipped, or bumped,
it jumped
 
and the report of that breakage
jolted me awake
to awe
for that one in me
in you
who has the courage
to say yes
 
to partaking of this love-
making that is life
breaking that is vital
to becoming
 
green

through the wood

through the wood
i came uncertain
stumbling on the shelter
and as i stood upon the threshold
my wrist poised to knock
i knew not why nor what
had brought me
 
the door did open then
of its own accord
my request it needed not
though still i could not see
who was bidding me to come
inside
 
the table spread before
i knew that i [...]

sunny day love

sunny day love
 
if words could cry, these words would weep
for holes in hearts where love seeps
like sand from a sieve, despite the Desperate
filling, it spills faster than love can replenish
 
perhaps
 
then these tears
might moisten love
clog up the holes
make it stick

saying more

soggy, slippery, and soft
something here is thawing
i hadn’t even realized it was winter
though days indeed seemed short
the nights weren’t long enough
to dream
no heavy blankets tossed across the beds
sanctioning my burrow in the cover
pushed aside, i was pushing
buds, though i intended toward my roots
beneath, below the bustle
that belonged to spring, but
here i am, the spinning [...]

the one thing necessary

out of the blue
you appear, a fleeting flight
to flutter, then to light, to draw
the nectar that i am

your gentle probing stirs
something inside me
and though i cling, wantonly
to you

the seeds you carry forth
into some other field
i cannot know
your colors fade into the sun

and i am left
here in this growing season
ravished, and [...]

morning prayer

Love,
fall softly over me
with your gossamer garment,  
in tender flowing folds
drape me in your light
that i may feel your gentle touch upon my skin
with every move i make, the brush
on belly, breast
reminding me of beauty
 

come caress these curves
in the sensual fabric of your love
be my sheer chiffon
that through your translucent
delicate embrace
they [...]

peering through the veil

how can it be that i stand here panting, naked, cowering
in the middle of this garden sudden hostile
when it seems that my last breath was fuel for the dance
oh, which was the bite inhaled
the one whose toxins tainted me with shame
with this intense desire to hide
there
the predatory glance that filled my lungs [...]

sophia’s sisters

Sophia’s sisters
 
She dances shamelessly
Her nakedness exposed
as She saunters in, around and through the room
Her fingers trailing lightly
leave their trace upon my cheek
as She glances back
seducing something vital inside me
to arise and enter in
to Her lovemaking
 
Her Sister, seductive in her own way,
slips silently into space
Her curves concealed completely
by the flowing robes, the veil
laced with mystery [...]

creation

she wears a green sash
tied about her waist
her femininity irresistible
in this knotting of the bow
i’ve read all about the symbolism
in this painting of the sacred  
the red dress of humanity
the blue mantle of divine
but here i am
so simply tied together
my own eyes cinched by
by the color green
