I MINDED LOVE

[Guest guest]

I designated myself a Higher Power,

 

And wandered in search of a distant shore,

 

I am a bit like a silver fox, I have learned

 

Myself, these hidden recesses and coves where

 

Only the wind blows freely,

 

Starlight reflects the nearness of the creature I

 

Inhabit in the night as kelp and the brine of sea

 

Turn my skin a paper white, green edged

 

And I skim the surfaces in the narration of water.

 

 

 

I have built a barge

 

Now I quite merrily coast along

 

The River Stix,

 

I know where the rocks are and how to scrape

 

The moss from the North side, I am medicinal

 

By nature and organic by implementation I shine in the

 

Secretions of my virginal self.

 

 

 

I admire the colour red,

 

And so I wear well my cloak of invisibility that none

 

May see the real me, though the thought remains the same,

 

It seems the key to pleasure is the personification of those who

 

Would love

 

When and if we question why tears flow in aloneness, why joy

 

Is Silence and can never be shared, never held.

 

 

 

For this I made a pact with

 

The Trickster, in spite of myself, and because this day allowed me

 

To play in these Elysian Fields, mind numbing,

 

 

 

 

LOVED UNTO ETERNITY

 

 

When the sands of time

 

Reach the end

 

It shall be written that the honour

 

Belonged to the living and the dead

 

For it is written in the pages

 

Of Destiny, at first glance, a priori

 

In the knowing of name

 

A flowering of being

 

There comes such a thing as benediction

 

For God has made love with life once again

 

And the I am is worn

 

Fits ever-so-perfectly

 

And yet forsaken and oft broken

 

Pummeled

 

Unheeded

 

Bleeding from the pores,

 

Where pomegranate and frankincense

 

Stir the soul

 

In the dawning

 

Of Light

 

In the longing of sunflowers

 

In the waning of the moon,

 

Having Fallen

 

Into silver buckets,

 

Spilling, flowing

 

Cascading

 

Into endless seas.

 

 

 

 

YIL,

Ana
