Unfinished & UntangledI want to be unfinished. I like myself this way.
I like the sound of my voice speaking from a lopsided heart
like a mystic song played softly in the early mornings
off the fisherman’s coast
or maybe like some melancholy drama
carving its name into a wall –
whatever it is, this is the moment I want to be.
I want to be ineffable sweetness
untangled and unraveled and written by a poet
smooth as a wish that floats off the page
and kisses you in public (right here in front of everyone)
and crowns you with love and throws flowers at you
I just want to be the old habits that fall away
I want to be like the garments of pain
that have been worn for too long –
they are ragged from wandering in the night
they are torn from ghosts
so they fall away.
They can’t cling to who I am anymore.
After all those years of waiting, after all those tears
after all that judgment, all that criticism,
and all that finger pointing
and the loneliness (god the loneliness)
I just want to be unfinished, untamed and untangled.
I want to sway dance and move through the world
marvelously naked.

Sanctuary
You arrived in a dream Part of me thought it was overblown and walk like a flower The other part of me knew would always be you to rise like a sweet fragrance I call "myself" Just when I start to think it is dead with the memories uprooted except a few seeds… suddenly the selfless joy of our embrace Once again I am surrounded by our flowers in full bloom.

Her deep insights into the dualistic nature of life merges with the erotic reunion of the male and female energies into a spiritual, archaic and mystical image of existence. Her poems are inspiring and uplifting…tender and soft…simply breathtaking! They can take us to that place that longs for love’s magical touch, that place we tend to forget about in the midst of all of life’s clangings and demands… Explore more of her work on her site: Zayrayves.com |
