Taibelle Precious Princess

So many leaders leading astray on course for what and why
                    Luring monsters and devils in misguided disguise

Some guides so powerful I cannot climb their mountain
                    Too good and steep to be true for the struggling Me

The Golden Mean of Everything in Moderation even hills
                    Aristotle to tell the tale of two halves in harmony

For Christ’s sake when I missed my Last bite of Supper
                    Dished on tables of tempestuous temples

At times even the Buddha seems to lean for comfort
                    Never hurt a sentient being including yourself

                                                  Promises of Faith 
                                        Opium for the Masses 
                              Gandhi’s Salt March 
                    Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom
          Frost’s Two Divergent Roads in the Wood 
When trees hide the forest of change one step at a time?

A universal array of Stars and Comets Sun and Moon when
		     Eclipses shine bright in comparison to void and despair

‘If I could I would fetch you the moon on a spoon’
          Is what you my kind and compassionate luminary vowed
	            When we first met under cloudy confusion afar from all light

‘Taibelle Precious Princess’ you are my superheroine you
          Have uncovered my kisses when I was merely a frog in the fog

My soulmate companion lover best friend with reason jingles
          Bells rhythm climax and rhyme my whacky poet in wild motion

I’ve learnt that imperfection is perfect enough
          That I may love myself when even not feeling okay is okay
                    For you are my oyster and I am the ladle in the cradle
                               Of human kindness we call our passionate home

Now joined at hips lips and mind you taught me that
          The sky is an infinite limitless eternal present and essence
                    In which sense of our world makes Meaning Serenity Peace

We still float through challenging times but the gentle caress of 
          Your luminous presence softens the blows rekindles our prism

We build our beach hut of dreams together roll in driftwood
          Mingle in sand by the ocean gather pebbles and sea shells
               In Venus’ meandering delta crafting pushing and pulling 
                         Crescendos of unbelievable marvelling miracles
                                   Words body soul union and winds over a rainbow

Without you as my leader I would not know how to lead would
          Be and have been solely a follower on my clueless ways to demise
