Inward Trekking II

Dear for God; and ever to want her, a bit space-shy.     I feel for welter, that’s turmoil, a siren in a forest.     I watch her naked, a pristine jewel, to bless the soul.     The nights are moonstruck, to feel for pain, and jotting lines; where death is sweet, to walk the day, a bit confused.     We held records, and do not calls, even a broken email; for this is silver, to yearn for gold, even a woman’s womb; and life be green, a henna scar, to grog a falcon.     I heard for rain, to swoop for comfort, the grit of lions.     We died to live, as low as pebbles, as wet as sediments; for this is love, even for poetry, as gracile as beauty; and not for size, for women rule, to usher a president.
     This is passion, to love like breath, to glean from salvaged; and god fled, to comfort self, through a genteel woman.     I watched her, spinning for calm, to give a lecture; and space be gone, to like and lust, a living jewel; for this is havoc, a febrile passion, as hectic as, “good morning.”     Can they feel it, a subtle burn, churning a nightmare?     I know for earnest, the dint of love, where neither can; for this is life, even a daymare, to hold a pail of air.     Nary a soul—fathoms this love, and ever afraid!     I called a priest, to speak of rain, and heaven beckoned.
     She spoke of death, the constant number, driven to exile; and tension built, the deepest want, to tell her for love; but silence rules, a cult of sadness, the extent of pressure; where god stood, ere a goddess, to claim for coward; and love died, a church of hells, a woman to lust; for this is heart, a pillow for a dungeon, a window for a youngster.     Its quantum leaps, for legend gripes, to push past climax; and a goddess knew, to still approach, and sort the madness.     This is myth, and living live, a piece of passion; where art is law, and law is dirge, a longing song.

    If I was Pablo in a feeling, I would assert love, I would cry fever—one begonia, three dreams.  If I was Neruda in my emotion, I would e...
