Memory Canal
Memory's canal lay weeping,
Maiden pours cooled wine.
I mull, a transparent cocoon
eyes deep in dark-ember'd fire.
She speaks in foggy whisper
to weigh stones in my mind.
Head-tilt in shadow, she reaches-
body-shakes grow tamer in time.
Crackle-sounds deem hungry flame
She wraps me in billowing folds.
I strangle a gasp at power there
in All those changing eyes hold.
She claims ability to heal each ache
"But first, scratch off old scabs"
To start with a clean settled slate
"we must accept all we have had."
I resist the burn as it spreads,
relieved only to breathe again.
For, if this Grace shall save me
I'd gratefully shed prior whim.
So eloquent, She holds me inside
I lap at bliss invading my bones.
Shuck off the dust of many roads
present my soul- through Her folds.
In tears, She eyes the gaping hole
takes my offer sweetly in hand.
Gives back a new me- shiny, complete
with a small shard in hints of a man.
Adoring raw, now rubbed so smart
I see dark glowing pieces of me.
'Neath glittered-haze & crystal's stain
lay Deity's grant of new destiny.
Humbled am I, given future advice-
"Live habitually to remain free..
Love only best, with adoration of self
in one man- will staunch every bleed."
Deity gone, a soul-beat in time
I stand much larger than I seem.
Kiss Her lips, on wind of thanks
I bask in warm-gone of Her breeze.

Beautifully put, darksighs.

"But first, must scratch off old
scabs"...
