~Red Beryl Vows~

~myths stripped~

Shall I be your lover

in a silken blue chemise

shall I be your doll

in porcelain mystique

will you bring me bread when I am hollow as the bowl

of the fairy tale in two fold abandoned and untold

 

Shall I be your man

in a suit of armor on a steed

shall I be your groom

in gender flip misdeeds

will you bring me apples when I am hanging by a branch

of a story where the knight is a woman, not a man

 

Shall I be your wanderlust

in a gypsy swirl of cards

shall I be your fortune

in a love line burnt and scarred

will you bring me gold when I am made up for your fire

of branches pulled along a road by a girl you’ve named Desire

 

Shall I be your w***e

in a saucer spread with cream

shall I be your bride

of a thousand one misdeeds

will you sell me to the god when my worth has run its course

off the side rail of a story,  without a moment of remorse

 

Shall I be your lover

your girl with ruby lips

shall I be, as always

the point repeatedly dismissed

will you be my crush  when my heart decides to wander

off the beaten track that every man has squandered

so will you

will you be my lover

off the beaten track

forsaking all the others

loving me intact

and will you do as I do

here

on bended knee

my offering a fluted glass

filled with silk Chablis

hidden from the mad above

beneath this epic Tree

an apple in my top hat

a song inside my throat

my vows to you in scales

between my mouth

my bow

a bold calligraphy

a rose

[Ed Hart]

how about we just hold e-hands and walk through this long garden praising the flowers...oh, say, about Feather Tales, remember the little girl whose voice was taken by a curse, you'll really love the climax (about fifteen chapter on) where she arises (yet again) to make the future possible...oh, the coffee and eclairs set my day in a sweet direction

[Pax Analog]

This is so beautiful. The fierce shapeshifter IS Shakti, all and everything.

Her heart beats for herself and the Shiva one who knows the still point of the turning worlds, who is not interested in tampering one iota w/her Kosmic wild gypsy dance and exquisite sensitivity to truth, the necessity of total uncompromising acceptance of Being, without qualifications.

Divinity seeks divinity, not some inflated nonsense, but the actual Reality all the f*****g chimps don't get.

This poem, and you, are sublime. Yet it is as simple as the great orphan: Spiritual Intelligence. Radical transparency.

Namaste~

You have me contemplating the lack of self, the removal of ego, the connection, the unity...

Beautiful, soft, litany of the collective soul. You give me goose bumps, woman.

Why would anyone want to label you or place you into a box, outstanding is your art and wonderful is your creative mind. How dynamic the woman was in this write able to be so many things for love.

[Hello, Goodbye]

Fantastic imagery and a very potent delivery. I also respect he conviction in your resolute poetry.

[Zackery Alan Daley]

Wowzer. I just was slashed across the face with poetic brilliance. Sometimes I just feel like giving up writing when I read such great material, then it ends up inspiring to do more. Learn more. I cannot describe the beauty that you just unfolded inside my own brain after I read it.

100/100

Tis true, we are all different ... a fact which poses great challenges and opportunities for the control freaks and megalomanics among us. And so the battle between order and chaos goes on for ever and ever. Hurrah!

[Maurice]

I could relate very well to the subject matter expressed here. You handled it masterfully.

[FireWoman]

Love is color blind, blind to all societal divisions so I've been told. However, you are among the few in which I believe are capable of this type of unselfish pure love. This was absolutely lovely, your beautiful heart shines through every veil revealing an almost superhuman view on how it is supposed to be. You make it as effortless as taking a breath in a world that weighs the chest.
Red Beryl Vows, Pollen & A Note validate you are much much more than a pretty face princess =)

chuckling gleefully...Crone abandoned..still with feelings of girlish giddy dripping down her legs ..or armored knight with hands gripping shaft and erupting in the ring of bisexual lovers....CD, transgender..seeking the sought of reversing the tide..nay the wave...felt it ...been it ....done it..... DO IT..

[Dream Weaver]
