Poem
"Blind Man Turns" Rest easy in my lull, Love Love is not the gentle goodnight, Love in the beguiling silence of Lost Lovers' Woods It is the war we all wager reflections in each other We run from it We run to it The Labyrinth we all are striding fresh through greener than green grass roads we never thought we’d journey futures like bruises bruises like roses blooming bruises like sunsets fading War torn We All are the softer, truth seeking and the fallen, sharp metal shards Love runs harder than war Love runs towards you with its arrows Bleeding slowly Bleeding fast Love Heads or Tails Hearts saved Heads rolling Tongues dry for a pass wanting wet trysts for duelling tails short and long tales to be read to the dreams that once in the past were futures formed like a sprouting bean in the belly from Love Falling free and hard short lived butterflies wings transparent veined in vanity are the Brave waiting for the burn Love bleeds hot bleeds fast Poets kissing soft warm bellies whispering breath over sensual hearts where the hot holy see parts singing “this will last” The Golden Grail shining waiting for you door open without chain mail holds a heart bled and worn An offering on your short spare alter never entirely yours but always mine blind man turns his heart ripe like an apple open and star seeded Light Burns waiting to be tasted a swallowed soul without feathers born again (LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
