Ode to Venus

<< post removed >>
Scarlet flowers surround the wild shrine
in the grove where devotees dance,
drinking heavily from a bilva fruit husk
while jackals circle as a yellow serpent
emerges from my body to devour
each newborn issue of your loins.
I dance bare-breasted upon your
corpse, my Shiva, the orgiastic spiral
of my limbs to the gourd-lute,
stoned on your blood and stoned.
Shaktas sing you back to life, and to
the darkness of my craggy grotto.
Songs written on century paper,
moldering into extinction from ev’ry
monsoon & my comely drunkenness,
jealously coveted as divine property.
These songs to the Goddess,
fell’d from heaven & caught in my hair.
* Goddess Parvati is the Hindu deity of virility and love (Wife of Lord Shiva).
* The pilgrimage to attain the freedom from the pain of rebirth.
* Shaktas = Bengal devotees

Aphrodite The Goddess Of Love
Land before time as we’ve embraced in a timeless dance
The utopia of Greece, a hidden romance
Aphrodisiac to enslave the loins of every mortal man
From where he lies to where he stands
Entwined of silk as we lay
Teardrops of forbidden love affairs silently falling away
As I’m making you mine
Love notes carried away as the flowing sands of time
Soul to soul, skin caressed, intoxicated off its essence as sips of fine wine
Lover’s haven pure undulated and defined
Sinking into the motion of my sensuous grind
Luring words crystal clear
Whispered in the dark, my ears do hear
The tropical forest our divinity lust filled bed
Soothing the tower of one’s initiating head
Beauty, seductive I am your Venus of fire
Flames of my partaking, Moth to my sultry desires
Immortality to love, given unto you, my handsome sire
My love of satisfaction
Feel me as I bedazzle you, flirtation of instant attraction
Breathlessly waiting
Bodies aflame, desire translating
Passionate relating
Stimulus in heat embodied as one creating
Come unto me, as the flow of the sea
Fill the lover’s cup of thee
This world’s aftermath we shall flee
Mortals will write the story of you and me
Rainbows within another lifetime, as soared and kissed
Minds to sink into a prey of concubines reminisce
I bow unto you, Greek Mythological Goddess Aphrodite
Beauty to tame the handsome Greek Mythological Gods, as silken pleasure engulfs the night
Grapes of feast my sweet vine you shall eat
Ecstasy of men harkened unto its submissive cry of defeat
Lips blanketed of Aphrodite a Goddess of an endless tide
Kisses to lips, bodies slip and tenderly slide
In a bed filled with lavender and heather covered
Destiny of Kama Sutra guided physiques we smother
Blessed gift of a wicked ride
Greek Goddess Aphrodite beautiful music as bodies collide
My wings of immortality, beauty, and desires has returned unto Venus within the sky
Aphrodite, or Venus, is the Goddess of love is known for being mischievous, flirty, beautiful, and very good at seduction.

Scorpio’s Dream
I live in the shadows to only see the stars
It’s cold here I desire fire in your eyes
I fantasize of you in shades of green
Consequences or desire I’m somewhere in between
Let me fly across the open sky
With the wings of your butterfly
Take me to Venus before I reach the sun
Let my blood boil as I come undone
Call my name, whisper instead of scream
Deep inside your Scorpio’s dream
Like an ocean waves movement
I feel the warmth or your body
I look into your eyes my sight is blind
The rush of your touch like lightning
I feel the center of the universe spinning
As nine nails slowly pierce my skin
I lose control as I feel your storm within
Let me fly across the open sky
With the wings of your butterfly
Take me Venus before I reach the sun
Let my blood boil as I come undone
Call my name, whisper instead of scream
Deep inside your Scorpio’s dream
(Instrumental)
The Earth is always in between
A solo flight across the stars
Mars will never be the same
When I touchdown I whisper your name
Let me fly across the open sky
With the wings of your butterfly
Take me Venus before I reach the sun
Let my blood boil as I come undone
Call my name, whisper instead of scream
Deep inside your Scorpio’s dream
It’s cold here I desire fire in your eyes
I fantasize of you in shades of green
Consequences or desire I’m somewhere in between
Let me fly across the open sky
With the wings of your butterfly
Take me to Venus before I reach the sun
Let my blood boil as I come undone
Call my name, whisper instead of scream
Deep inside your Scorpio’s dream
Like an ocean waves movement
I feel the warmth or your body
I look into your eyes my sight is blind
The rush of your touch like lightning
I feel the center of the universe spinning
As nine nails slowly pierce my skin
I lose control as I feel your storm within
Let me fly across the open sky
With the wings of your butterfly
Take me Venus before I reach the sun
Let my blood boil as I come undone
Call my name, whisper instead of scream
Deep inside your Scorpio’s dream
(Instrumental)
The Earth is always in between
A solo flight across the stars
Mars will never be the same
When I touchdown I whisper your name
Let me fly across the open sky
With the wings of your butterfly
Take me Venus before I reach the sun
Let my blood boil as I come undone
Call my name, whisper instead of scream
Deep inside your Scorpio’s dream

Her invisible light
-i
She is a fresh minutiae
Inside an exegesis sea of dew
Now ever to see the arcana bloom.
-ii
Unbroken pieces were scattered inner fraught
As perennial hearts in sync to in-flower thought.
-iii
Thus souls entwine the refined wine in psalmic verse
Spark an angelic burning fire as their poetic disperse,
New organic arises consequent while we remember
Forever forethought always beginning extempore.
-iv
So seeing their new purpose extending in form
Thru holy feeling, a little flower was born,
Electrical exotica takes an occasion
Tome-beings, lightning fascination
A shade unto darkness,
No more...

Lust for Hathor
Upon the banks of swollen Nile
She may stop and bathe awhile
Underneath the desert sun
Whilst Ra's light does shine on
And catches in her ebon hair
Cascading down skin so fair
The Goddess of the sky above
Hathor, Goddess of great love
Beauty and protector both
The Goddess of abundant growth
A splendour beyond any contest
I resolve to make her my next conquest
As water splashes on bare breast
My heart hammers within my chest
Consort of both men and Gods
A stirring begins within loves pods
She smiles at this mortal man
Knowing well his lustful plan
Displaying her sex as she bathes
Making this man her willing slave
But Hathor picks the who and how
Vanishing, leaving a sacred cow
Perhaps next time I’ll win her prize
Perhaps she’ll stay in human guise
For how this man longs to please
This Egyptian Goddess and perpetual tease.

My Sexual Savior
Matriarch of matriarchs, light of my nights
Upon your bare breast, I whisper and confess
My most corrupt and deviant desires
You answer my midnight confessions
With moist lips and wet glossolalia tongue
Before granting me absolution inside your temple
Where I cast out my demons upon your soft alter
In a lascivious eruption of corporal corruption
You are my sacred redeemer
Delivering me from the bottomless pit
Of obsessive carnal depravity
My beloved, because you suffer
To relieve me of my temptations
You are the object of my adulation
Among women you are above all others
For you are my sexual savior
Upon your bare breast, I whisper and confess
My most corrupt and deviant desires
You answer my midnight confessions
With moist lips and wet glossolalia tongue
Before granting me absolution inside your temple
Where I cast out my demons upon your soft alter
In a lascivious eruption of corporal corruption
You are my sacred redeemer
Delivering me from the bottomless pit
Of obsessive carnal depravity
My beloved, because you suffer
To relieve me of my temptations
You are the object of my adulation
Among women you are above all others
For you are my sexual savior

Exile
The sound of the Goddess was his music,
mute of syllables, singing of his
banishment from the grace of her words.
He gathered sleep from the outline of
her breasts, keeping himself to a
dark niche within reach of her perfume.
Keeping her in his sight, he wondered
as he began to pleasure;
when had she known?
He imagined a much younger time
when she could
extract milk from the stars,
when she first offered a cup to his lips,
trembling from kneeling on the
cold foyer tiles of her regal domicile.
Now there he was, reduced to a
vicarious act while the sight of her
uplifted him,
never taking his quartz eyes off her,
and her fertility
was all the adornment he desired.
He, a pebble in the garden, needed
no pillow or curtain. His nostrils
filled with essence of Osmanthus.
All he knew from that moment when
the agony of his passion ignited was
hearing the song of his exquisite exile.

Blue Lotus
Coming up from Aswan
with his catch of fish
in his woven baskets,
he tacks the course of his
sleek felucca along the Nile:
of her kohl-black eyes,
her long, plaited hair,
the narcotic of blue water lilies,
her blue lotus pose facing both
the rising, and the setting sun.
The young fisherman
( with visions of supple petals )
begs to know
as he sings upward,
with his lungs filled with love
and his strong body of desire,
into the lateen sail that reflects
her soft linen folds that curve
and catch the crosswind:
“What is your name, scented one
in the smoke that rises from the
shores of the cataracts,
“where I bring to you my bounty,
and will appease your appetite!”
He gazes the alluring azure above,
offering his outstretched,
sun-drenched, rippling arms,
offering himself as a lover,
as one would to this goddess.
The youth of his desire
waiting for her answer to
fill the triangle of his sail.
Calling out once more
as he confidently displays
his gleaming white teeth:
”Ma huwa 'ismuki?”
( Sensen, Egyptian Goddess of the Sacred Blue Lotus )

Thank You (A conversation with Aphrodite)
Aphrodite, I ask of you,
spare just a second to look where love has gotten me into.
Through the years you've been so cold.
Though in my darkest hours you came and I struck gold.
My goddess, I am so sorry.
Never did I realize such tragedy can bring a wondrous thing to me.
I am my own planet once and thought it would be forever.
Now that she's with me, we revolve in our own universe and I could leave her never.
Her voice is "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (18th variation)".
You chuckled at that, seeing that I too have a romantic side in me.
You asked, "You look at her as if she's a masterful stroke of an artist's paintbrush, yes?"
My goddess, even with her battle scars I see her strength and beauty, no less.
You've healed away my pain,
given me someone who makes the sun rise when she calls out my name.
You do realize she has made a change?
But I'm glad my goddess, the jumbled pieces of my heart is now well-arranged.
Thank You.
