Deep down beneath the floorboards of my soul
Intangible lives In a place where the softness Of a thousand tears longs to kiss your naked feet In each breathing crevice of my being Light resides Its splendor dances, mirrored in the hundred polished shields Left behind by unnamed warriors Playing somewhere beyond the grasp of your imagination The child I will never be laughs her music into the the folds of my newly unlocked heart She dares you to wander the burnished path The one that threatens to trip you as it winds between the barbed wire of sorrow And the mossy gardens of gleeful fairies And once haunted places Marked by piles of worried stone All the walls are falling down to greet the water To kneel and worship at the river’s edge Her rushing sweetness sings forgiveness Transforming lost things to found memory Leading your mind in all directions at once A sudden thunder of bird wings A wind of countless arrows above For a moment you are lost to the dream And you are blind Still determined Down the stairs you stumble Unable to surrender to anything but curiosity Tapping on spirit doors Rattling the casements of my soul Moving all my furniture Rolling back the rugs Shouting a name you hope I will answer to Frantic now in your desire to see my essence Who I am and how I bleed What is the crux of my happiness If you stop scrying so hard Cease your pushing, pulling and stabbing at the shadows Embrace this stillness That coats the very center of the beast Like the resonance of snow Or a hymn sung by feathers falling on your skin In the pure hushed and purple quiet You’ll find what you didn't know you were looking for And yet, exactly what you wanted In the cradle of the darkest, darkest dark Shining moonlit like a pearl A glowing ruby dwells at the core eternal A spark pirouetting and leaping Fueled by you And each who passes nearest my heart Rooms for those I've held most precious And sometimes even strangers who have wandered in Touched me in a chance exchange And left a permanent mark, unaware That brief bright spark would become a torch Lighting the way Eviscerating even the blackest pitch, the most indiscernible path The convergence of sparks bubbles upward Miniature stars bursting in the fountain’s crest Pouring out my eyes, lifting my smile They stream from my fingertips when I open my arms To encircle your weary body Each point on my crown becomes an inextinguishable ember Fueled by every interaction Of love and regret Of hunger and joy Illuminations that come from many Flow through me inside and out They change and reinforce who I am The source of inspiration The definition of purpose An intricate dance of satisfaction and need But this spark I hold in my hand, just now Is the moment we met This dazzling brightness perched on my shoulder Is one of many times we have shared our desire This flickering ember in the crook of my arm Is the piece of me that misses your face Your arms, your sex, The warm, rich rumble Of your voice when my name departs your mouth I’m fondest of this spark Which embodies this longing It remains even when we are pressed close Blissfully drowning Fingers lacing, a net Fishing in the wildness of our personal ocean A reminder that everything is fleeting Except the spark Haven't posted anything new in a while. Been writing, not posting. I think this one is just about finished. Leucothea is an ancient sea goddess and protector of sailors. You can see her dance in the sea foam.  In this little boat, alone; rocked by the storm
Unfurling my heart keeps my torn body warm Folding my sorrow; a sail for tomorrow When night clears, moonlight will guide the wise way to go Stars crown a tower that serves as a lighthouse Darkness, she covers me, keeps the cruel winds down Buffered, yet weathered, still fishing for destiny Deep in my hold, treasures of hope, love and dreams CH- And she follows me everywhere I need to be In my loneliness, never alone She attends me in my longing and desire I have no doubt I am loved The moon and the sea carrying me So that I always know I am home Sweet Leucothea, her foam forms my cradle Timeless Mother, keeping an eternal candle So I'll not be blinded in the darkest of depths When flashing blades slice me, I’m soon healed by her kiss My passage to venture, my answers to forge My temple to build, my waters to pour Questing afar from human comfort or friend Moonlight companions; fox, blackbird and bat CH- And she follows me everywhere I need to be In my loneliness, never alone She attends me in my longing and desire I have no doubt I am loved The moon and the sea carrying me So that I always know I am home I'll ferry the loneliness, longing, despair I'll knot bones and feathers and tears in my hair I'll sing in the darkness ‘til sun beams the shore Finding soft sand there, sharp cliffs or cavernous door Experience. Teacher. Wisdom bleeds from misery, Joy blooms in the unknown, next note an uncertainty Each journey the same.and every voyage unique. Each answer a question, no knowledge complete CH-And she follows me everywhere I need to be In my loneliness, never alone She attends me in my longing and desire I have no doubt I am loved The moon and the sea carrying me So that I always know I am home And so on I go on my continuous loop Some days appear different, some play out the same truth I've sailed here before under this glorious moon I've stood on that precipice and howled at the gloom 'Til numinous moths raised a wind at my back In dusty clouds, lent their wings to me, opened the crack That always leads to beyond, spirals into my soul Sailing back in a boat of light, new seas to roam CH-And she follows me everywhere I need to be In my loneliness, never alone She attends me in my longing and desire I have no doubt I am loved The moon and the sea carrying me So that I always know I am home I always know I am home White Goddess Protecting Me Proud Ino she carries me I have no doubt I am loved 
So you think you can be the captain of this ship
Can you keep her from running 'ground Turn One Hundred eighty degrees on a dime Yeah can you turn this ship around You want to be the captain of this ship Can you keep her 'right in the stormiest of seas Will you save her from the monsters ‘neath the waves Resist the siren call of the deep Oh you want to be the apple of my eye So you scaled my garden wall Then you smiled just like a dragon and a dove And you promised me you’ll catch me when I fall Now you want to be the master of this heart And you’swear you'll tame the wildness , trim the thorns I may wear a crown but I long to sleep In the arms of the one the one who wears the horns Then perhaps it's time you know the mystery We’re each only the bearers of our souls There’s no mastery to walking by my side Each flame lights the other we are whole So when you choose to share the journey of this heart You’ll love the roses all the more for their thorns I may wear a crown but I long to sleep In the arms of the one who wears the horns I may wear a crown but I long to sleep In the arms of the one who wears the horns  There is beauty and strength in an injured soul. True love can find you no matter how you might try to hide from it. That is what I believe. I have seen it with my own eyes!
Somehow you shine your own light while you wrap yourself in night So no one will see you are the mirror of the sun That ruby that i found cradled deep underground Makes me ponder off and on, have I found the one The one true song, that Perfect note When it comes out wrong, it's so full of hope That one blue day I've been scrying for In the night I have prayed for an open door Somehow I stumbled and I learned just how to fall on broken glass Get up and take a bow, see how I''m dancing once again As black as you may seem you are far from an abyss And I can tell you this because of the depths that I have seen Well I hardly know you know, but I think that will change soon now Maybe I have always known you, perhaps we have always been That one true song, that Perfect note When it comes out wrong, it's so full of hope That one blue day I've been scrying for In the night I have prayed for an open door Damage has been done more or less to everyone Who's had it worse who's pain is lesser who am I to say I'm sorry for your loss but you don't have to bear that cross You don't have to face the music, you don't have to make my day Hey, just ask for what you want and if it's me that you have sought Maybe we will dance together, try on each other's wings and play That one true song, that Perfect note When it comes out wrong, it's so full of hope That one blue day I've been scrying for In the night I have prayed for an open door And the mystery is fine, I don't have to know the next line If I'll be yours or if you're mine I've put this feather in my heart, I'll hold my song out to the dark And if I must go on searching, I will not be afraid, no I will not be afraid The mystery is fine, I don't need to guess the next line I've wrong too many times I've put this feather in my heart, I'll hold my song out to the dark And when I see that open door, I will not be afraid, i will not hesitate |
