Conversations with the Goddess

Poeme

Inspired by Chausson: Poeme for Violin & Orchestra;
and a poem "Your Face".

Your face
is a glistening teardrop
from the moon
who weeps with joy
at the darkness of the night
that allows her to shine so bright

Your laugh
turns your eyes into ships
sailing fast across
the still, still sea
of silence between our hearts

Your mouth
is the blossom of your heart
coursing towards the light
producing bejeweled seeds
upon contact with my breathless ear

Your hands
hold a universe of stillness
an infinite longing
a glimmering, chiming prayer
rendering my skin
peacefully blind, enraged, and senseless
effortlessly open, rested, and free

Dedicated to Diana Soline.


Waiting
"Seek the place where you
Are as hollow as a straw,
Thirsty as a desert,
Open as a window waiting for the wind."
-Fredrick Zydek


Apple
"It was a hot afternoon in the summer of 2006. The air was dry at Harbin Hot Springs in Northern California. I was sitting on a smooth, round boulder watching a mountain stream dance just below my bare feet. I was holding a bright red apple. As I bit into it, its sweet and slightly sour juice filled my mouth. I looked at the bitten apple and the Goddess revealed herself to me…"
