Poem
GLIMPSE My heart a pouch of rich wine overlays yours A drop of blood spilled over an arum lily It waits with longing intense, retains no tears As it remembers its cringes of final fear when it Jumped into your chest of steel Your smell of fruit juice, water and old leather all around My soul lays naked in a room of light While your music plays next door Our two plumed serpents dance slow dances To rhythms of drums and pipes Single notes of knowingness Wordless sounds repeated I listen again and again Spacious a white room waits aged and innocent In a no-zone forest of mushrooms, poppies and pebbles As the piano vibrates with silence While Goddess does not speak of A mission that never ends Surrender struggles to be free Watching for symbols that appear and vanish While progress moves worse than a snail With a footsore over splintered glass Drops in space hung on Venus threads Pregnant breasts heaving and falling Passing tests of temperance, strength, solitude Swallow death, devils and darkened silence Deep in a psyche of five thousand years Across oceans of space my thoughts travel Not knowing whether they reach your light or Hermit in your head or the warehouse in which You play with waves of froth on dirty sand Seals and gulls glide and shout A lighthouse looks on still and sure Muck in the harbour awaits an embrace Fried chips beckon and call to fill my Open belly of waiting Sun as Love struggles for freedom on a higher plane With yours in ether on a wall I read Still you sleep a hundred thousand sleeps of Fear and watchfulness In the distance runs Skeleton Woman With tangled bones to be untangled Knowing that long ago she completed Her work of inner peace with honours Spartacus and Helen looking on Waiting not for you alone But to fill your Heart for another work of love, to drink your tears, to slate your thirst Become one, two, three to ten again As dough rises with surprises inside Eggs fresh full, two yolks and cream To be eaten on a jetty of harmonious voids Love lost and found, lost and found All over again ©ghairodanielspoetryandsong2003 (LISTEN TO POEM READ ON YOUTUBE @ghairodanielspresence)
