written for the metamorphosis contest sponsored by Unseeking Seeker,. On a migraine train to healing. I somehow wrote this anyhow.
“blessings from above
transformed lust to love
delusion to illumination
earth-heaven bilocation” - Unseeking Seeker
When rays of saffron atonement
streak through the indigo skies,
a glitter of dawn begins
to break over the harsh steel night,
and scents of strawberries
waft through the crisp morning breeze.
Sodden earth from misbegotten fights,
yet sour memories still linger
under my regretful fingernails.
While I lift my unchained soul
from the mists soaked in petrichor,
brushing the crushed leaves
from my silken hair.
Now I walk toward
the babbling spring,
looking down at the sapphire
pool of water below me.
I no longer see the wrathful
rage within my pale irises,
nor do I feel the poison-dipped
words coursing through my veins.
But I remember how
chamomile constellations
were obscured and cocooned
into a delicate chrysalis,
while caterpillars crawled
and crooned carols to
the monstrous monsoon
that serenaded maleficent monologues
to throne a butterfly mind to
a kingdom of deceit.
So I surrender to the universe,
unlock my heart to the elysian empyrean,
praising the tulip twilight that
unfurled wings of gold upon
my fragile psyche, still seeking love
amidst the eclipsed spheres that
strangled the serenity
within my crystalline conscience.
O’ beloved almighty,
forgive the blasphemous breeze
that surrounded my bones and skin,
when doubts and delusions
sabotaged the chakras within.
But I am no longer
a prisoned marionette
to the gallery of greed.
I illustrate the amethyst zest,
illuminating weeping wisterias,
to a museum of spiritual awakening,
fragranced with unfaltering fate.
Transforming weakened willows
into a valley of relentless roses,
there, love is an immortal revelation,
synchronized with unrestricted devotion;
burying superficial desires,
sprouting soothing sentiments,
flourishing with ethereal zeal.
Karma knows the initials of my faith,
knitted with glistening bliss,
in miraculous magnificence,
revealing thriving elixirs.
I relinquish the reveries of
bougainvillea blessings,
purified with peace lilies.
Tonight, I’ll abandon
the material magnets
that pulled me into
a lethal entanglement.
I’ll count salt-soaked
citrines scattered across galactic
gardens in mindfulness,
while waltzing through the astral fields,
hypnotized by seraphic symphonies.
Physically, hanging on electrified threads,
I flutter my metamorphosed feathers,
intoxicated by the charismatic credence
of honeysuckle hymns.
Cosmically, my thoughts swirl to
the silver-sequined sagas,
flowing in celestial beams,
soaring in magical frequencies.
