Now I stand bereft of robe
before you all--bare, exposed...
A drape of cloth in covering
and all the warmth such comfort brings.
I stitch upon dark robe of me
distraction of embroidery.
an eye of daisy needed grace,
and so a citrine, I did place
in center of a velvet street--
the petals plush, point straight to me.
Golden wheat of amber eye...
upon my robe, the daisies cried.
'Sun-drops' in a flood of rain,
skyclad dance of naked pain
almond dew of tears uncried--
upon my robe? A river dried,
gulleys left upon my weep...
white-gloved ladies serving tea.
Hot-house hearts
of striate skin--
All I am--without, within...
My eyes are spark of blue again
in strobe of chance to let you in...
A newling fern, in curl of sprout--
a yearn unfurling, whispered shout...
next to the sage I planted when
I did not fear knowledge as sin
nor wisdom as the fruit of bliss---
glimpse, preceded by a hiss.
Seasons change with rise of fist,
as memories dazzle in the mist...
From sorrow grows the roots of rage
as Oaken leaves gasp words of mage
in silent sway beneath the moss
I give back all the things I bought
tracing dark of silhouette
and rock to rhythm still unmet.
Have you never stopped to reach
a petal in first fuzz of leaf?
Or tilt your nose in sniff of air
scent of jasmine--knowing--there?
To wonder at the silver trail
still glistening from absent snail?
At times I think my heart will burst--
beauty-full--spring--rebirth--
I know that love lives on in me
as sure as sun sprouts moistened seed.
I know the tide returns again
erasing footsteps of my pain.
I'm spending every day like this.
In search of that eternal kiss...
finding wonder in the grasp
of a newborn's trusting clasp.
A tiny curl of honest hand,
around my thumb, a reprimand--
of all the faith I lacked before.
To think that I once dreamed of more...

serenity buries her head into Sharon's breasts, sobbing....knowing full well she incites the jealousy of most of passions--

Thank GOD/DESS you are still here...

Life is good tonight.
