desire

Want want want

id ego id ego id ego

Like falling downstairs, so easy

No questions

Or drowned in the Roar

We are not Silent

Your name in my mouth

Sounds so sweet

Stop my speech with your kisses

And your name will still haunt my lips

Expanding in Light, Arms stretched to the Sky

From tightly locked chasm

To Flaming Explosion

Worlds are burning

Worlds are Lost in the Fires of Wanting

Are we Dead?

Scorched and Broken? The Blackened Ruse

of Generations

tempting the Future with Dreams of Joy?

Shriveled husks laughing in gasps and wheezes

Dry dead and gone

Blown away?

i want to trace your face with my fingertips,

kiss you in wonder, stare into your eyes.

i want to touch you o so softly gently,

never stop

and all the ways i would please you…

see how selfish i am?

want want want...

That’s the One

That Star out there

Brighter in the firmament

Than any other

That’s the One

Sunshine Dancers

Dancers sparkling in the Sun

Like Diamonds in the grass

Sliding sinuously into the grooves and furrows

Left in the wake of scorching guitar solos

Hearts beat as one with the drum

Blood singing singing singing in our veins

The Energy of the Music Rises

Fills Engages

Joins our Spirits with the musicians

And theirs with ours

And with each other

And all the Dancers on the floor

We spin we whirl we glide

The notes pick us up and toss us

Into the stratosphere

We draw in other Dancers

And laugh to see the Joy of the Dance

on others' faces

The bass hums in my Blood

Voice, the sweetest blade

that ever opened Heart

Guitar burns So Good in my Center

Drums, and my feet pound the Earth

Horns, and I cry out loud

The Sacred and the Profane

Like Jehova/666

AvatRgrrl

Even God Loves the Dance

and must treat with the Devil

to receive her Joy

A lusty Dream

To exhaust oneself Dancing

Hair tangled and wild

Face flushed with Ecstasy

Sharing that Moment

In the Open and in Secret

All Stories are Possible

In the Sun/Moon Dance

We fast from Food/Water/Speech

for three days and three nights

Dancing to the World Tree

Coming Face to Face with God through Dance

Coming Face to Face with our Selves

And taking that Energy back out into the World

Dance is the expression of Ecstasy

The Dark and the Light

Ecstasy is Prayer

All Prayer rises to Godhead

And Returns to us as Overwhelming Love

you, who were kissed

by the maid, joan of arc

on the eve of her triumph

so long ago

held aloft by your mother

in the air wild

with bells

offered in joy

to her shining lips

were you branded forever

with the fire of holiness?

did your starved limbs fill out

with the promise of bliss?

touched by the soldier-maid

sent straight from heaven

surrounded by angels

and god, the electric

did your heart swell triumphant?

was your voice raised in song?

you, who were brushed

by the passage of destiny

kissed by wonder and joy

one bright night in your youth

held

for a moment

by the hope of a nation

did your soul grow inside you?

did it matter at all?

black

no notes

no pages

no leaves of the past

to draw an old life

collage

to paint stark madnesses

broken toys

all vanished in the diaspora

no place home

except memory

black is the colour, none is the number

surrounded by glowing abundance

i am sealed

creature of appetite, unable to inhale

or drink

all taste is gone

feel my soul wizen and shrivel

and enter the darkness

there can be no resurrection

lost under the weight of bygone

no one can touch me

no one can hear me

asphyxiation

wells of dissolution

hard judgments, self-inflicted

wandering bleak in blackness

unrelieved endless night

fade into my arms

she said

stay

I will always take care of you

you need never know

anything

Scheherazade

"I am the echo of your Dreams."

Spinning Stories

Like Straw into Gold

By night's end

A thousand tales in a thousand-one nights

Creating Light from the sunless womb

Of the Void

You are not who you are

In the daytime

but Wolf's Brother stalking the Night

Down dark halls of Dreams

Hungry and questing for One

Who will join your Fire with Fire

Who will enter your Soul in the Burning Times

Meeting you in Conflagration

Consuming your Essence and Giving Back to you

An Infinity

You are not who you are

Comfortable at Home

but Primal

Wild

What big teeth you have!

What sharp claws!

O! the Fierce possibilities!

I, frozen like prey, await the Devouring

And then that careful touch

Just hard enough

Just sharp enough

I know

In Bliss you have Marked me

Drawn Blood

You lick, you drink

You are renewed

And I live

Forever pulsing in your veins

For Days and Centuries

Wildness calls to Wild

I tell you Stories of Darkness

and the Light it gives Birth to

Tales of sweet maidens

Once Awakened, So Wanton

Spinning webs of silken Magick

To glamour Knights and Heroes

Engaging in Wondrous Battle!

Skin to skin, mouth to mouth

We stare into each others' eyes

Panting, eager to rejoin the Fray

Stories of Star-Crossed Lovers

Who prayed to be Together

Prayed to be Apart

Petitioned God! for the Burning to Cease

All the while Celebrating Fire

Like Heloise and Abelard

Forbidden

Yet Lovers all the same

Would Spirit give to us

That which we cannot resist?

Damn us to Everlasting Darkness

For Love?

I cannot believe it so

We shall shine Forever in Constellations

Watched by shepherds in the Night Sky

The Stories will always be Told

And scholars debate the Truth

Discuss the mythic properties

And this Measureless Passion will be Known

To All

Someday
