UTERO HOLDER OF LIFE
Reddish brown hue
Holder of life
So easy to view
Beautiful
Mother’s hold held, life spoil
She stands tall, fertile
Legs sequoia
Woman mother of man
Releasing’s life’s blood
Eggs embryos
Down her limbs
Nurturer, mother of world
Red river life flows through
The womb monthly flows
Utero holder of life

Mr Napkin Holder
What troubles or
afflicts Mr Napkin Holder is
voices on a
speakerphone are too
loud, are too
confident, the smell of
instant noodles, and
those who say aka instead of
saying
also knows as.

"Precepts of the Aegis-Holder"
no gorgons here
but 3 of one, yes?
shields raise
back the dead
to life
and phoenix
from the ashes
spreads its burning wings
feathers of blue
now gold, tra-la notes,
messages burning
rising upwards, it sings
and the hounds noble
stand their ground
under tree of life
the wisdom drops from leaves
like tears, black pearls
in for a penny,
in for a pound
what say you?
to the manor born?, or
light of life?, by now
it does not matter
for all is found, surely,
in each
the other
(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

"A chattering crow lives out nine generations of aged men,
but a stag's life is four time a crow's,
and a raven's life makes three stags old,
while the phoenix outlives nine ravens,
but we, the rich-haired Nymphs
daughters of Zeus the aegis-holder,
outlive ten phoenixes"

Holder of the flame of bliss awareness
Cognised by presence, in tranquil stillness
Each hue new, although generic code same
God is love; we may give Him any name
Filling voids within, with joy in fullness
Deluded is thought of separateness
Empathy births interconnectedness
We all are one, this life play but a game
Holder of the flame
God in-dwells all forms, as the That oneness
Love, light and power, endless blissfulness
Steady resolve, with God-connect our aim
Set aside ego urge, which is to blame
Transmuting to luminous Godliness
Holder of the flame

Blissful presence free
Our childlike innocence bright
Dancing in delight
There is no one here save me
Bubbling with ecstatic glee

I have held my last pot of hot soup
I've come to the end of my threads
Befraggled and muffed
Bedraggled and fruffed
A raddled cloth corpse that's dead
Frayed so soft and shabby
As the cotton boll that bore me
Worn to a frazzle
I have lost all my dazzle
Faded and haggard and tatty
So tattered in my casing
My splayed stuffing is facing
The dog who has chewed
What was left!

HOLDER OF THE HEAVENS
religion of love —
the Holder of the Heavens
spurs unity and purpose
the longhouse people
strong belief in afterlife
honored Spirit…lived good life
forever friendships
less crime ~ police force null
embraced Christianity
with brotherly care
the Iroquois weave gardens
enforced with no social caste
prayer and praise to God —
tobacco like incense lifts
with thankfulness...wampum tribe

The squirrels are funny
They are also smart
A peanut holder bought
Hung onto a she shepherd's
rod
No success -he slides downward
So he did some thinking
He climbed the wooden fence
From there he got to the feeder
He took the peanut holder
Ran off with it in his mouth
It was put up for a while
The peanut holder gone
The yard was searched
The nut holder never found
The squirrel hid it well

If a breath of air was to hard to swallow would one
collapse or stumble onto feet to found resirpiration,
a base a tone a turn of a century what hold hand,
a base a tone a turn of a century what hold hands,
honest of pure sweat like a tiger with the aim of a raven
how does a vent of a vented prey,
like a predator take form beam in or sworn in
for vertex unknown clarify ferrate,
is it yate of time songs and birds apparition appease,
shack of a hand of a vertex appease learn of sleep,
or false within then why do one hands fold in such ways,
and beads solitude still hope or conscience statue,
a base a tone a turn of a century what hold hand,
a base a tone a turn of a century what hold hands,
if waiting patiently like walk of solomon death can,
it hold a person awake yease to take part post or yet to take,
flight fluid in sorensen like howls in the night can you hear ancerstry right, howling louder then a grave yard or a missing foe tell me all intuition,
a base a tone a turn of a century what hold hands.

I wish I was beautiful.
I want to be part of the in crowd.
Just beautiful not superficial.
That would make me proud.
I want to be part of the in crowd.
Being me makes me sad.
That would make me proud.
I long to be her real bad.
Being me makes me sad.
I don't know girl in mirror.
I long to be her real bad.
I want to see her much clearer.
I don't know girl in mirror.
A stranger is starring back at me.
I want to see her much clearer.
Ugliness is all that I see.
A stranger is staring back at me.
Hi I'm lexie, who are you?
Uglines is all that I see.
Because I have know clue.
Hi I'm lexie who, are you?
Just beautiful not superficial.
Because I have know clue.
I wish I was beautiful .

Open
A gate, a key
To greater turmoil
Overture to greater beauty
Unspoiled.
Fear not
Discovery
When your eyes look upon
Rough trail, hiding territory
Beyond.
Count not,
Walk regardless
Of the pros and the cons
Dreams are in the making, unless
You doubt.
Seek Ye
That gate, that key
That you may come to know
Treasure untold; that ye the key
Do hold.

Dear holder
Hold my heart, keep it safe
For I’m your beloved and I’m on my way
I keep getting lost in the moonless nights without you, it’s only a short delay,
don’t get impatient and give my heart away
When I close my eyes
I feel your longing
It pulls me your way each and every day
It whispers to me in my dreams
Soon from this day
We shall stand face to face
You will glance down at my smile as you run your hand down my beautiful face
Dear beloved I’m your beloved
And I’m on my way
