for Morningstar
pulsing in my veins
her whisper
thrills
sends chills
a lush expanse
of wild tangled gardens
and endless skies star scattered
tattered
remnants
of old lovers gone
some clinging still like
stillborn hearts of stony
death
gripping clawing as though that would
lure my soul to turn back time
medusa go your way
I shall go mine
it's spring oh goddess..... OHHHHHH
such quivering earth beneath my feet
such warmth in your embrace
your radiant passion
reverberating through my being
my mind
my tongue
my fingertips
until I kneel
oh yes that wretched state of supplication
some so clearly dread as though
ahhhhhhh but the view
mmmmmm such gardens of delight
such bursting flowing torrents
in the night
such glorious soaring
freedom's flight
in daring to bend one's knee
and taste
one's wholeness
without pretense
and love
love
without shame nor boundaries
limits or quandaries
yes
I say
yes
I am all that
and more
I still explore
for love
for lust
til I am dust
I shall reach out I pray
each new dawning day
with open eyes
and soul
not bound by self-control
like a frigid corset
