Of white and black Symbols that are bodies

Bring me your bright lights body

Pale forms of golden hues

Lips & fingers of ecstatic melodies

Bronze on altars of the flesh

 

Moonlight ebony that glistens

Translucent curves and hips drenched

With coolness, yearning, forms set

 

With the pure love of Virgins

Harmonies of color, fragrant heart-beats

Bring me your body of hesitant first moments

 

Of sexual union, of athletic effort

The muffled sounds of organs, life

That morbid and subtle suffering of femininity

 

These strong biological waves of emotion

Cyclic and turbulent, flame of all mysteries

Bring me your body with dreams of bluest gauzes

 

Exalted and christened by your love

Dug from the soul of verse herself

 

Sung with the inexpressive ethereal front

Of a thousand generations of women.

"Bring me your body of hesitant first moments"--I can relate to this line...powerful stuff. Also "Strong biological waves of emotion" just about sums up every human being that I have known. We are all slaves to our biological selves, yearning and straining to become slaves of our spiritual selves...but if we achieve that, if we achieve nirvana, what else is left?

What is left? Collective redemption, the individual is just the beginning.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Collective redemption is only effected through the coming together of a massive amount of spiritual minds that have reached the nirvana plateau...it would certainly be beautiful, but do I expect to see it in my lifetime? I'm not sure of that. The only thing I can focus on is myself...becoming the kind of person that I need and want to be; a generous, giving person with less regard for myself and more for those around me. In doing this, perhaps i will spark the same in just one other person, and that person will do the same, creating a chain reaction.

That's a beautiful declaration. Happiness is never decreased by being shared.

There are many forms of collective progress, certainly not all of them require Nirvana lol :P But I know what you mean, consciousness is a luxury. When you struggle with meeting basic needs however, it's tough to even think or try to unite with Nirvana...

This is a powerful and complex piece of artistry. Your descriptions are a tender symphony of the senses, capturing the decadence and sensuality of women with stunning clarity. I so adored the line, "Dug from the soul of verse herself." That is such a lovely expression, dreamy and endowed with so much depth.

That is truly exquisite. This piece is a gem, I discovered something new in each abstract use of imagery, each adjective seems so carefully and perfectly selected to convey a portrait of bliss and unity. You make it seem so effortless, catching the stars and harnessing their light to create such flawless works of beauty. Well done. 1

I feel as a reader, in some ways, you know me better than I know myself. If that makes any sense?read moreI feel as a reader, in some ways, you know me better than I know myself. If that makes any sense?

I'm hunting for an intensity that I can't seem to reach, perhaps I will have to veer to some erotic terror to achieve it.

[Kristallo]

It does make sense. I've noticed several moments where a reader has caught some sort of significance or assertion in myself that I did not even realize I had conveyed. It's easy to become so absorbed within yourself that you lose touch of the bigger portrait, of all the colorful details that work together in creating it... and I would agree that your words aren't necessarily intense, they are more esoteric and delicate, but in witnessing your skill with expression I don't doubt that you can achieve that level of 'intensity' within your writing if you strive for it.

[Eloha]

Esoteric and delicate, I'll take that.
