moon matriach and a heart toward Jah

from poetry collection

when speaking my heart there is hushed streaming

when it is Her that flowered and watered this muscle

in the first place

 

when I explain the center of myself

I know she is kindred with Her I am patented

she understands

when this heart split I knew Her incensed

within Her circle there would be my flighty rear

while praying for me to reunite with it

 

with my head…regain senses so I retreated

stopped prostrating in front of YOU Jehovah

though knowing the lion a liar

 

but I tossed unkempt and turned in shambles

wrote poems I didn’t think YOU noticed

spoke to the chairs curtains to carpet

as a tormented patient

 

at indigo blanket twinkling penetrating

ceilings with moon lids

restless in damsel peruse

confided things to mere particles

 

didn’t occur you were listening

 

and YOU Jehovah drove me to appointed men

recouping with conditioning…

and I drove swift and quick (to sister to niece)

especially my matriarch as She helped plant these ventricles…

 

from the start

Wow... You have such a complexity to your work, your use of language is brilliant here. You truly are a poet to learn from.

Aww you know what ph I learn from everybody else I hope I'm someone to learn from. Thank you so much.

Spin the web of a higher insight--to a higher-self... see the reflection in true heart and drink from the well of conscious thought... now pray to your belief of faith systems true--there you find solace in your knowing... this is where restless becomes quietened in the asking and heart beat is slowed by within the richness of sight... sink into your eyes--your love is an ocean.

Truly outstanding in metaphorical usage... trust in those that hold the key to fulfillment. xx

Another poetic review Jim...thank you.

Smooth metaphors, the concept is divine. Usual interweaving of surreal lyricism. Weird mysticism that is beyond my comprehension?

This could be a series, each poem could start with that perfect first stanza...

[Shirlena]

smile...it's actual a very spiritual and religious write Wu. It was intentional that it not be obvious (YAY). It worked. Thank you so much for reading friend. I live for your commentary.

I feel you are showing your gratitude To God and few others who believed in you and helped you through your journey. They did not retreat when you needed them to listen, confide things and pray for unity. That is what I get from this marvelous poem...:).....................

[Sami Khalil]
