Goddess

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. Aphrodite is known to have flings with other Gods, and mortals like Ares, Adonis, & Ankhises. Aphrodite is loved by everyone, and she is the most beautiful Goddess known. She is loved and adored by every man on Earth. Aphrodite’s symbols include the myrtle wreath, the red rose, white doves, and her day of the week is Friday

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

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

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.
