WHERE LOVE LEARNS NO MORE


Where Love learns no more 
two serpents crawling twine
one midnight black another 
luminous wizardy white 
entangled fanged bedazzled 
circled by ultra violet rays 
ultra red Sun the One
swimming in beet orange
mint mix elixir eclipsed 
quiver quenches wreathing
writhing thirst as cerise
petals silently fall, crumble 
dust to dust 

Here howls no blackboards or
whiteboards no koki pens
pencils erasers or paint
no school bells ring 
no Buddha 
gongs neither singing bowls
no teachers gurus masters
or internet, memory, miles 
history or futuristic dreams 
nor Rumi poetic recitals  
or even Gabriel’s angelic 
harmonic frequencies

In deafening silence they
slither slide thrust open
skin on skin shedding 
translucent spirals spinning 
black imbibes white aglow 
glistening melting moments
all else dissipates
two serpents exits explore 
where Love has nothing to 
learn but adore
God appeased appear
emits lochia, soar
observe serumed gyrations 
entice enchanting narration 
they remain darkly sage 
silent shimmering sop 
slippery slip illustrious dip  
into hidden slivered 
silver cords hanging 
themselves naked new
wheeled throats bleed askew

Then from vulnerable bellies 
delicate moths emerge 
flutter one by one
become butterflies flit
making mauve milk
pixel pinprick serpent 
eyes lightning shoot
first branches of 
Tree of Life moot ~
an ethereal nightingale 
tinkled appears, trialed 
trigger timed 
two serpentines transmute
into dancing flames free
stepping out of shadows
into silvery sematic glee 
grace winged they disappear 
into hymning hyacinth 
Sky outlined in gilded
lyrical lore divine

In beckoning belly of Creation
L o v e  has 
n o t h i n g  
to learn
