Be thy deft in gallant stride The sign of trembling swells horizon’s visage to rolling force of thunder Here stand I, in lily fashion upon river bottom paths once flowing now growing level minded in fragile sanctitude unafraid of swallowing the soil to strengthen my hold wash o’er me boldly with all imagination can deliver for I will never adhere to silence I sing in cloud bursts wilting not from tired exposure I am free to love and to abide in sovereign ground speckled with dew painted scars lascivious in reveal of petal smooth sin threaten me if you will in stormy scowl and I will smile upon bottomed tombstones and float upon your flood once again fragrant as a lily the same never ashamed |

threaten me if you will in stormy scowl and I will smile upon bottomed tombstones and float upon your flood once again fragrant as a lily the same never ashamed Regina~ You portry such strength in your poetry, not only in your talents but your choice of words and the way you arrange them, defining the woman within. And yes, to feel ashamed of who and what we are is a NOT a good place to be. Nice writing as always~ |
