IRON MAIDEN

IRON MAIDEN 

Iron maiden was she 
fathered from loins of 
Zeus flow free ~
surrounded by swords 
steely three, icicle aura 
bounded hounded 
innocence thorned 
crowned exiled
white mane this maiden 
iron clad sane became 

She ran in plain rain on 
grassy hill for all to see
glistening glaring flaring
Sekmet at her shoulder
a flaming golden boulder
Babylon seductively she 
conquered in its wasted 
darkest devilish years
destructive collapse 
iron maiden did not 
fearfully elapse

On banks facing Alexander
who greedily ached for 
her peggy legs to stroke
encased in buckled leather  
he desired to suckle 
her sweet interior 
already she consulted 
sarcophagus for Godly 
advice to halt his
growth of reedy greed
Orion paths with tunnels
licked her soles until
snowbird mighty whole 
her toenails spiky sharp
starry night harp right
Alex the Great could 
not imagine his fate
when he liquid tongued 
her gate to mate late

Cleopatra in her wiles
of beauty and perfume
matched not this heady
maiden of steely steady
ultimate embodiment of
feminine energy
daggers were two true
bone encased grail trail
hip blazing holding dare 
dangle bangles used only 
on command of Metatron’s
longing songs

Viking ships single
handed she sailed
from frozen lakes to
gory forsakes to free 
Dark Southern shapes
unshackle dirt encrusted 
blind ignoble hates
fervid fingernails scraped
grit from grasping arching 
brows knit 
revealing not reviling 
past present future
in powerful measured
momented weather 
feathered 

An iron maiden was she
who could tell a molten 
spell was her purified 
blue blood belled
womb electrons 
moving through space- 
time designing freedom 
in unknowable coloured 
chrysanthemum mime 
eternal Life lubricating 
colonels to haste chaste

Iron maiden stoked ebony 
ivory scarlet poked 
scarred gold slick silver 
armour of untouchable
veiled victor vibrating vision 
marching with Centaurs
singing Celts welter-skelter 
whirling with Sufi masters 
ancient African queens
offered her burnished 
spears to dare share
held her enduring 
might in sight their
flaring fires sweared 
endearing delight

Her weapons Truth
certainty courage 
conviction scourged
to merge top to bottom 
Steadfast Freedom 
Salute !
Iron Maiden broke
her own massive 
Heart space 
mute
