Kali in disguiseA Poem by Violet O'BrienLips blistered and chapped
You scorch me like the sun My heart travels from my chest To the core of me Dwelling deeper inside of me Safer and protected Can you reach out and touch it Feel my heart between your fingertips Like whispers from Lillith to Eve Deep inside the sacred cave of humanity Women are warriors Daily Having to stand ready to fight Protect themselves Because who else will stand up for us Except for other women Only women can understand the pain Of having to carry themselves on the line Of brutality and forgiveness Warriors and mothers We all have the potential of being beautiful Like the great mother Kali Fanged and bloodied Caring for the beautiful and brave children That come forth from her womb And killing those who try to cause harm to them There is life and death in everything And if we didn't die life would never be worth living So open your eyes and be aware Or you will be found in the secret darkness of eternity And end up with a beheaded soul Wandering forever Without hope Because I will find my betrayors My dear Brutus And I will rip you heart out of your chest I will devour you Because you have tried your best And you have not killed me I will rise from the ashes of my decayed and burning soul To get my revenge for all you have done to me Because I am a great and fanged bloodied beast In the disguise of a shattered heart feemale And I will always win this fight... © 2008 Violet O'Brien |
