Your travel has given me freedom. But what is freedom when you possess a soul divided? What is the chronic sea without its unfathomable dominions? My soul is thirsty for you. My cold and naked ankles mope around your desolated castle; Jinn, dust, and piercing silence is all that echoes in this darkened dungeon that I have succumbed to. And then there is me. A heavy-laden wasted artist with Spiny paintbrushes and faded color. I refuse to leave the spaces that you read and play. I refuse to exhale the memories of your sky painted blue irises. My skin hungers for your delicate surface. My teeth long to bite into your fleshy thighs. In the hour of the noontide I feel you most For our souls sahasrara blooms colorfully in the hour Of the sun-the ancient mother of our roots weaves Love with all of loves children and meets us with pneumatic cosmic kisses. This is when I feel closest to you. Without you, the world is just as it seems; the sun burned into cinders, Leaving the crops belonging to the sacred soils of my flesh to prune and wither . Ay! the droughts that you spread with your distance. These are the days of my reaping These are the days of my sulking. The gardens are now closed and the black raven cries out to a mournful mothers son. Your scent died along with the laughter of the flowers And the butterflies wont even flutter Without your lovely eyelash kisses. To live another day without the energy Your presence fills my heart with, Is to live an eternity hugging Your coffin with sobbing rage; fain would I take deaths hand. The suffering of your glorious dawn Wedded the universe deep beneath my skin. You are the light, And the absence of your holiness leaves me opaque and hollow. In my solitude I have watched the hours burn And in each hour your fragrant sighs escape with the dust motes Surrounding the beaming light that breaks through the cracks of the curtains. I sit in the depth of myself And listen for the echoes of your sounds. A mother am I and a pitiful one too. Like the rawboned mother with sunken eyes carrying a baby in the womb, draining all of the nutrition her body has to offer, Your distance maps a massacred trail Of my health and happiness. You are the mother of patience And the descendent of beauty and love. You are the tsunami, and the still waters. You are the uprising cub leading and mending. You are the sap that feeds the giving tree of life. You are the prince of wisdom. You are My flesh In purest form. - Arizona
