New

Black hole eyes

Absorbing all

To create

A new universe within:

One I would

Rip, tear, shred and kill

To preserve.

I feel your scent bodily

As I drink you in with

Kisses, kisses, kisses,

Soothe your vulnerabilities

With gentle caresses.

All is gentle

Now life is love

And fierceness.

Heart's Desire

I was lost, unaware, in betrayal.

Constantly running,

My heart's desire dragging behind -

The guilt so heavy in each breath

I dared not look back

To see its bones bounce with each step.

Instead I carried a polluted womb

Too toxic for life to grow,

That gave birth to dead babies

For years and years.

I could never carry one

Full term

But screamed for death

Half way through.

In she would come,

Faithful Kali

With her icy hands

To destroy the dream

Before it could begin.

Now I've asked her forgiveness

And she held me with such love,

Such tenderness and wisdom

That I saw my wounds

For what they were.
