Rescue

Rescue

A Poem by Siddartha Beth Pierce

The ornery

darkness rode

upon my heels.

 

My lover

came to stay-

Yet Angels

wings flung

my self above the game.

 

Mounting my name

his and mine

combined-

He and She

we found

answers

to those truths

unbound

within one another.

 

Only together

could we flee

the rivals rule

the evil being.

 

Freedom was his

gift to me-

He lay me down

upon the bed

clasped his hands

in mine

lapped my body

from head to tow

rolled my eyes

back and fro

splintered the pain away

replaced my fear

with mad desire

the passion of a

fruitful tree

rooted, grown

forth with seed.

 

Now within me

will sprout

a soul as mighty

as ourselves.

 

My lover's aid

took me away

to travel

within

the moonsoon's maze.
