Goddess1&2

Goddess1 & Goddess2 predate the year 2000. I am time challanged right now and have been laxed in writing poems into this weblog as much as I would like. Although they are not true to my goal of creating new unedited poetic expressions directly into this weblog, Goddess1 & Goddess2 somewhat qualify as they were both typed directly into separate emails, then summarily dispatched at the click of an electronic mouse never to be written down on paper with pen: Words afloat in cyberspace. I am happy to have re-encountered them after such a long time.

Goddess1

Today is for you.

Like so many days when my hot blood churns

over the rocks of our story

Like so many days when my sweetest thoughts flow

down to see you in every thing I touch

Like so many days when my heart wanders

along your lush banks and yearns to sip from

your cup that sits between the fragrance of your Mount Venus and

the smooth luscious moon-splashed peeks of Dyo Psomi Lofos.

Like so many days when my flesh crave to soak up the wetness of your lips

Like so many days when I reach into my core and find you unfolded

Like so many days

Today

is for you

Goddess2

Arrows like stars

descend on my love for

you

not

one

to tolerate the proddings of

commercialized holiday sticks

I pluck the sensations out of the pieces

of scattered heart flesh

and prostrate my organs and limbs

under this quartermoon canopy

and pray

--Oh goddess, if

you would cover my skin, if

you would bless me with your eternal kiss

--Oh goddess,

I love you

no matter the day it is
