sacred solitude the mother cushions soles of feet-- I enter under canopy I enter blood's divinity there the snake becomes the wheel swallow tail's eternity ouroboros is calling me deep into the mother's womb. pulsing pointedly the father is a lantern's light dappling in black and white giving vein to leaves of tree-- the wind in shake of tambourine branches quake in giggling like geisha blushing behind fan... I stoop to take just what I need here, there is no need of greed-- I leave the plant and it re-seeds to feed another's traveling. smiling when the bite weeps red juices on me reconcile bleeding proof that I am wed. Bloodstains on the marriage bed witness union of divine-- water changed into the wine watch me stumble in the wood tripping over oaken root-- I have found the centered sky. |

"the wind in shake of tambourine branches quake in giggling like geisha blushing behind fan..." and... "I pick the berries black and wild-- smiling when the bite weeps red juices on me reconcile bleeding proof that I am wed. Bloodstains on the marriage bed witness union of divine-- water changed into the wine watch me stumble in the wood tripping over oaken root-- I have found the centered sky." Amazing write K....just amazing!! ~Hugs YOU!~ |

ouroboros is calling me deep into the mother's womb. Patterns pulsing pointedly the father is a lantern's light dappling in black and white giving vein to leaves of tree-- the wind in shake of tambourine branches quake in giggling like geisha blushing behind fan... ======================== I pick the berries black and wild-- smiling when the bite weeps red juices on me reconcile bleeding proof that I am wed. Bloodstains on the marriage bed witness union of divine-- water changed into the wine watch me stumble in the wood tripping over oaken root-- I have found the centered sky. ========================= ouroboros is calling me could you be any cooler?  I have found the centered sky. now write your name across it baby...cuz you are a poet of exception.  "How could I stand here with you and not be moved by you." |

Well, you already knew that I'd love this part... "there the snake becomes the wheel swallow tail's eternity ouroboros is calling me deep into the mother's womb." and this... "giving vein to leaves of tree-- the wind in shake of tambourine branches quake in giggling like geisha blushing behind fan..." and then this... "I pick the berries black and wild-- smiling when the bite weeps red juices on me reconcile bleeding proof that I am wed. Bloodstains on the marriage bed witness union of divine-- water changed into the wine watch me stumble in the wood tripping over oaken root-- I have found the centered sky." You are just too cool.  You never cease to amaze me, Karen... and this?...is amazing. Smiling big here... Love you, witchyone. "My friends are my estate." |

oooohh you know I'm a sucker for this! and you know just a bit of useless info..someone called me a witch before and I took that as a compliment  Kristen If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Serenity...As always your style and skill leaves a lasting impression with me. It's about time to get that book of yours published. With poems like this one it is sure to be a best seller. Title it " Poems and other spells of New Orleans" Naturally you would have to have a Witch on the cover. Take Care...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |

K - this entire write intrigued me but this one part I FELT the mother cushions soles of feet-- I saw barefoot - pine needles white skin stepping - no treading - beneath a canopy - a breathing canopy . . . and it made me feel at peace and your last stanza - is just absolute perfection in its raw power and reality I have much to learn . . . but I have good teachers This is sacred xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (08-01-2003 10:30 PM).] |

My goodness what a beautiful piece of writing this was ... giving vein to leaves of tree-- the wind in shake of tambourine branches quake in giggling like geisha blushing behind fan... and this ... There--I spy a shape of leaf-- I stoop to take just what I need here, there is no need of greed-- I leave the plant and it re-seeds to feed another's traveling. A considerate witch that is for sure Oh loving this...more? |
