ra's whisper

i have always believed in a god

but i want to embrace a god.

no.

not just any god.

i want to become one with the god

that carved ra’s whisper

into the seduction of your eyes.

 

become the sun of mother nature;

a brilliant jewel in the fluidity of your language.

a curious coupling of logic and love

where a soul lies in a cell

and its voice in a cello’s wise depths.

 

will you unravel for my clumsy obsession?

a snake charmer’s skin spinning away like

on delicate strangling petal?

 

underneath and over me you hover

exotic.

a true product of nature.

beware…

you have the power to tempt my

exaggeration.

 

you are beautiful

which is to say that the world is beautiful

when i am in the holiest of holies

proposing prayers on bended knees

 

may the gods who made you take heed.

the power to tempt my exaggeration...what a way with words...i am in awe of your awesomeness...i could associate with nearly all you wrote and if that too makes me pretentious then paint me pink and call me a convert...enjoyed my stay today...appreciate your existence,,,

so seductive, a hushed whisper on the heat of a holy lust. . . I hear it and recognize it for what it truly is. All I can say is, well, aside from being a little jealous that I didn't think of it first, what a remarkable piece of work!
