Why do you continue to sleep this night? Like so many others, refusing to awaken I am losing patience with your lack of knowing With your avoidance to feel
Hear me ... Come to me
Come back to the fore mother's womb Know your place of origin It is time for you to be born again of blood and lust Time to drink deep and be nourished by Ancestral *******
I come to you in the quietness of the night I come to you with arms that ache to hold you With a tongue that burns to share with you All that has been denied you for too long
What is happening to me?
I did as I was told. I followed the formula.
Studied well. Worked hard. Fell in love.. . Why was it all taken from me? What is left for me?
Doing and not βBeingβ leaves no time for the sacred You wonder why the emptiness grows inside you? Let me love you into growing and into knowing The truth of the fullness of a woman
Time to leave your antiseptic cocoon Time to touch, to burn, to feel Time to leave the shackles of other's man made rules And dare to create your own from having lived
So many fear the dark. But water and fire gather in the dark places below. The brave and bold have learned to go there eagerly They run with pulses racing. Their bodies flushed, warm, alive.
Hear me ... Come to me
Tonight we shall meet and touch It is our intention to reclaim all that has been lost to us It is our intention to give to you, all that has been denied Dare to free your body. Dare to open your soul. Feel.
Hear me ... Come to me
Let me dig deep into your soul Become one with your Ivory bones Know the harmony of your blood's song Find the place where I belong
Let my footsteps echo within your mind Journey with me through space and time Let me turn you inside out Breathe the Breath from your sweet mouth
A pulse stilled...now throbs and rushes A tongue denied...salivates A covert glance...seeks to be engaged Flesh and mind flooded with new yearning...are hungry Woman of the heart, Let thunder roll Dig in your earthiness, Follow your roots to your flesh And find us dancing in your blood
You don't have to tiptoe around your heart Dig in. Know it. Own it. Trust the knowing will bless your lips and your hips And set your world on fire!
