Cream Against Green

Locks untangled slide freely over life giving, affirming white glow.
The indentation along the spines contours,
head moved forward, leant, exposed nape,
the very essence of, in archetype.


Heat's Passion

Repulsed this heat's passion
Fanned a face, from off.
In diving, less demure
When half one's clothes doff!

Snubbed, scorned this archetype
Of burning kisses
From under leafed bough. Whilst
His, never misses!

Willendorf

Great Goddess
In fertile essence you were shaped
Upon your head
ambiguous braids were draped;

Breasts as mountains
Belly the great giver of life
Monthly cycle an ocher fountain
Created from ancestral strife

Venus of Willendorf
30,000 year old
Archetype Matron 
of Mother Earth
Corpulent bestower
Of genesis and birth.

Still Unborn

How dependent are we on language,
  for the expansion of our minds

Each word a crucial building block,
  an archetype sublime

Can we think outside our diction,
  would our thoughts release and form

Or would truth and beauty, right and wrong
  —lay dormant still unborn

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Age of Majority

One of those who enters the fray 
draws the line at  
opposition to belief in hell
still afraid 
that God would hate him, 
thought how very unpleasant to imagine 
this Old Man, Uncle Figure, 
Kindly Archetype 
hating you, turning His back, 
wanting to leave your house, 
sniffing at the impurities. 
The question is, too late?

Iris Pool

The anticipation of
Not knowing
If my fantasy of you
Is being relieved. 

To taste and touch you 
and then share 
my flesh with yours. 

Hoping for an expected
Ironic disposition of a 
Holy archetype. 

I try to rid myself of 
This mutation—a handicap
All too familiar. 

I lose myself
In your eyes and 
I falsely believe that 
They are mine 
To swim in.

Premium Member Dreamweavers Magic Weave

Long into the night the Dreamweaver works, spinning dream-threads of golden silk into etheric fantasies. Archetype and metaphor do a mind-meld in REM’s 2/4 time; conjured music from Dreamweaver’s harp. Echoes of past lifetimes are revisited in the Dreamtime; swirling, do-see-do memories are, identifiable to spirits who share the dreams.

The Mirror

Sheathed in unfamiliar undulating curves
Likened to white marble maidens
Once a graceful willowy frame, wistful memory serves
Augmented by fruitful years and plump babies laden

This heart and mind deceived by time
And all that I have collected
My evolution into this voluptuous frame sublime
Youthful archetype of attraction neglected

Yet this mantle that encases 
Does not define or symbolize
For my reflection in my children’s faces
Is the only mirror I realize.
