Feminessence

Ah, to be woman
purity and royalty
hopefully, demonstrated
in humility
for the one who
devotes her bones
to bear witness to
life’s caress
stroke by stroke
God wakes her
by grief and rage
he shakes her
in erotic urge
to taste her
in every shade of
human mess

Ah, to be woman
a glimpse of worlds unseen
portal to dimensions
within the dream
teaming with life
behind the scenes
her womb,
a portal,
a cosmic nest
look both ways
when crossing
a sirens test
virgin, maiden, mother
crone
wild, primal,
moonlit moan
a barefoot dance
to take the throne,
not from others,
but of her s o u l
never alone,
never alone
the Earth,
the cosmos,
all her home

This collection is a prayer, an ode, and a love note to the feminine mystery within all of us.
