Swords In My Hands


“Swords in My Hands”



War paths fade
when she says 
Play Misty for Me

It’s so very easy
hold two swords
drop the Ball and glass slippers

The smile is full freedom
he says, do it again
Victory dance and mean it

Taken in this moment
one sword 
cuts the zumanity ropes

some strange romance;
he says, do it again
I’ll watch you win 

begin
Victory dance
begin
 
she is calling It in,
ALL in,
by Her Self

LIFE
 
body in full flight
against Blue Sky

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)




"Take to The Sky", Tori Amos
https://youtu.be/__i-CccPdmk







“This house is like Russia, 
with eyes cold and gray.
You got me movin' in a circle.
I dyed my hair red today.
I just want a little passion 
to hold me in the dark.
I know I've got some magic buried, 
buried deep in my heart, yeah….

But my priest says,
You aint saving no souls…
My father says, 
"You ain't making any money."
My doctor says, 
"You just took it to the limit.

And here I stand, 
with this sword in my hand...

You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat 
while I take to the sky, 
take to the sky...

...

This house is like Russia
with eyes cold and gray"

"Woman is the creator of the universe, the universe is her form; woman is the foundation of the world, she is the true form of the body. In woman is the form of all things, of all that lives and moves in the world. There is no jewel rarer than woman, no condition superior to that of a woman."

"The sword symbolizes power, protection, authority, strength, and courage; metaphysically, it represents discrimination and the penetrating power of the intellect. The sword is phallic, with the sheath being yonic. It is a symbol of knighthood and chivalry. The flaming sword of the Christian ethos seperates man from Eden.

Many swords have magical properties and are given to heroes for the advancement of justice; Excalibur was given to Arthur by the lady of the lake, The Greek gods gave Perseus a sword that could cleave stone to defeat Medusa."
