She has no mercy for herself
Her duty is to others
Selflessly she  keeps the peace
The penitence of Mothers.

Forgive me now the Pedestal
I see it was your Cross
My adoration kept you on
Your pedestal of Loss.

Forgive me too my arrogance
I thought I saw you true
Your saintliness a chosen role
Full You I never knew

Holy Suffering  now Unveiled
Goddess Martyr  Self-Impaled.

This poem was inspired by my beloved mother, with whom I am still evolving , many years after her death.

Queen of the Night

I am Lady in Waiting
for my Queen of the Night
through seasons of darkness
I tend to your needs
nurturing with reverence
your grace that is rare gifted gesture.

Now appears precious promise ~
Swelling expectantly
no longer neutral but
Blushing insistently.
I maintain composure
take rest while I may
for any night now
your fullness will herald my fast beating heart
Brilliant pure color
with exquisite shape !
Fragrance Narcotic Perfume...
brings me unabashed to my knees.
I shall wake all the sleepers
to witness your glory
Come breathe in her presence!
Magnificent flower of this darkest hour!
.....~~~~.....~~~~.....~~~~.....~~~~.....~~~~.....~~~~......~~~~.....
But oh.
I slept.
This fleeting time she is come and now gone
with no swoons and no adoration.
No court to be held....
Royalty has lost its grip.

progeny

how poignant your music
expansive expression of soul
I treasure each moment of hearing
emotions exuberantly whole

from where this creation?

labyrinthine your verse yea rarely is terse
you tease me to follow you there
I cannot
philosopher ~ scholar you are
unlike me
choosing ease with my various pleasures

you birthed from me !

while loving you travel
through darkness and brightness
faithful to nurturing friendships
with those who respond at your level of truth
your innocence offering balance

possessing yourself I've utmost respect
for all that you are and hold dear
future unwritten
create as you live
your dreams all become crystal clear

what I can do is to celebrate you
as you are
with gratitude to be your mother
as we are

Dance with me ! Do not resist !
Our Passion we'll uncover

And I the Crone am here to offer

Allow us now to merge in you
Relax and see we guide you true
Your path is not a righteous hell
but sweet Creation~

Sanctuary

Moving with you into Unknown
Dreaming what will be
Holding your hand through flowing sand
is my Sanctuary
