Spidery Symphony

~

I rise to meet chance:

Opening my third ear

I conceive instruction,

born awareness.

Agile imagination like a bee

flying at full speed, I am seized

 by the silken wire of the Weaver;

my thoughts attach themselves to words,

crochet a recital,

delicate music only the Sun can ignite.

Go Deep, But Don’t Drown

~

It’s imperative

when diving for pearls

to keep ones eyes open

say nothing of ones ears.

The glean is subtle,

one must be prepared to go;

deep into the salty darkness,

let tears wash away the debris

thoughtlessly tossed into the ocean womb

where my psyche is developing.

Through the Portal of a Cloud

My beloved

I hand you my heart

Nimbus cloud pregnant;

Stormy potentiality

Giving birth to a Universe

With each heavenly tear.

Lion-Hearted Lover

 While wandering the shadowy understory

seeking the sun,

I ran into a ravenous lion.

Afraid of being eaten alive,

knowing how cats love to taunt their prey,

like heavy petting,

they lick and nibble, playing just rough enough

to exhaust the poor creature into begging for consummation.

I wanted to run

 until I noticed the gash in his heart

gushing tears. I went to him

looked into his sky eyes;

tired he yawned, which made me yawn;

and while my eyes were closed

he swallowed me whole.

Grief Garden, Forgiveness, and Rebirth

Electric Love

voluminous blossom

opens her face to the Sun;

swallows fire,

dares to dazzle,

has no fear.

When the rain comes

melting her pretty petals

fall: worthy remains

feed the garden of her blessed beginning.

Tammy Wynette was one of my mother’s favorites when I was a young child. She played this song many times. It opened my heart to fire of God burning in my belly every time I heard it. So, here’s to you mom.

Mandala of a Mundane Morning

The Sun, and I rise,

carnelian light burns through

  slate gray clouds,

Holy Aura Illuminates

the new day.

Distance crow cackles,

like an old crone

laughing madly, while she stirs

tossing in the forbidden,

magic boils over.

Raggedy edged bathroom mirror gleams

like mica, its subdued shine

entices me to focus on my image.

At the kitchen sink I stand

grateful. Fresh water flows

from the spigot fountain

cool liquid sparklers

spill down my throat.

Into the day I soar, like a

mockingbird, Mimus polyglottos,

many tongued mimic, I seek Self.

Flowerbeds mulched, I eat

cold watermelon, juicy,

make sweet love standing in the rain.

Honeybees buzz around. Thrust

their faces deep inside moist petals

ravishing hollyhock blossoms,

sticky stem bouncing,

warm nectar streams down my thighs.

A Faerie is Born

This airy faerie piece was inspired by picture it & write prompt #29.

Pregnant moon belly lifts
dancing orbs whisper
remember your wings.

Warm star fingers raise
awareness
urge inspiring birth
of a faerie.
