Touch Therapy - 4

The under urge of your undressed drama
delays the days of reckoning damage,
seeking to seethe longer
in the silence of a shuttered subconscious,
then, without waste
a sublimity of humming humility
enters your electric ego,
through eardrums of lavander longing
Himmalayan horns engulf your heart,
the sound of ancient new sublimation
scintillates on the soul's skin,
regeneration from renegade repression
unwraps itself lusterous and loving
upon the warmth of your teething truth,
the truth that beckons
for the beauty of your erupting integrity...

Hi J.A.B., There’s such a wild softness in this piece--like truth arriving through thunder and lavender both. That “teething truth” line gnawed right into me. You always blend intensity and reflection like it’s second nature. I can feel the tension unraveling into something honest and whole. Brilliant as always. – Alesia

I sense in these words a transformation of the self—repressed truths emerging through longing and humility… the eruption of integrity, a spiritual rebirth… always, Laura
