fleur éternelle

That which bound us heart to heart
dream to dream.
Dream a little dream with me, starborn wind-dancer, my sweet.

Hold me, hold  me. So close. I want to drink the rare home of your limbs,
the amber musk of your skin-
a blossom uncurling in moist summer heat.
The light- sun dappled water of the basin.

You dance me wild
across the planes of my soul
you dance me wild-
love-spun ripe treasure.

I broke you in my hands. Too eager. I tore your delicate composition.
Forgive me, goddess. I was so blind.
Could not see my own self in the mirror...
only saw myself, standing, looking at you.
There; hidden in lines, in plain view, I.
In your eye. Muse key. My lady.
You unlock the inner well of my vision. 
In your presence I spill over. 
Trip over myself to fall at your feet
and pray to the light glinting from your prismatic being.

My first love, forgive me.

Who am I (?)
To touch the sanctum?
I, priestess, I, Isis.
I rise like the sun and spiral on
through ages of cycles.
You are my love.
You are the embodiment of my adoration.
My love outside myself.

You: eclipse, ellipses, ellipsis,
coalesce and pool in my being.
I find myself
whole in our union.

I hear it, molecules bound into language.
This voice must be heard: I AM.
indivisible. Ubiquitous.
I am truth, tried and true.
Scarab on my throat, so shall I rise up
as a speaker of truth.
I have been here.
To see the days spinning away
as shadow and light creep over rock.
I was here at the dawn.
None will destroy me.
Everything is all I am.
Nectar for the most holy.
My essence the sustenance of gods.

I persist, victorious in self.
This calling, you don't hear the voice,
my calling is not separate.
I am gone and away
in lucid universes beyond your knowing.

You dance me wild-
bloom me true and full.
Thousand-fold efflorescence
with all the yearning urgency
of spring greening.

Subsistence

Confiscate the words you use
as my food
ravenous I devour
sentences as they drop
from your lips
and still my hunger is not satisfied
my gut holding a waxing crescent of hope
against all reasons and odds
while the pain gnaws
away from the inside
salt thick and slow
unourished and restless
I find I've lost my way
somewhere
along us a line divides
pull apart this love
to view it's raw flesh
can't seem to put it back together now
too many pieces
in this crazy puzzle
overloaded i snap
as my dreams collapse
my heart in flames
ashes of holy communion
I wonder if I'll starve after
you've gone
taking your words with you
all except the ones that live in my mind
meager fuel
for the days ahead.
