Energy
like
pure emotion creates
A raw unequivocal rage
like fire in my veins
And quickens heart
dampens hands
places me on the outer plain
unable to control wild impulses love brings out
heat and passion vibrating to ecstasy
then showering trembling down into peaceful rivers
to bathe my spirit in fear
like haunting shadows
beckoning me forth
then dropped off distant mountains
flying on currents of disbelief
joy like resolute thunder
beaming with pride
channeling life from my womb
and
crying with relief
the accomplishment bears forth a miracle child.

Insomnia
Tired
and restless
Hours
awake
Body
quiet mind screaming
Dawn
arrives
Far
before
The
body and mind are prepared
For
the Awakening.

Regarding
the Wisdom of Snakes...
As
the skin too tight inhibits growth
And
must be shed
So
the past too painful
Inhibits
joy
And
must be released.

An
Innocent Glance
Dark
penetrating pools inviting me to plunge into your soul
A
desire to experience the ecstasy of burning with a kindred spirit
But...convention does not allow for spontaneous passion
instead
I will glance a moment longer than appropriate and smile knowing
that my imagination can burn for you.

Isolation
I
feel oceans apart
The
distance
Silent
and foreboding
Reminds
me of the imaginary line
Drawn
down a thousand marriage beds
And
I realize
One
outstretched hand
And
a single strand of syllables
Could
wrap the continents in intimacy
