the sacred pool of emotion

                    
stirring the waters of thought    
I stir slowly so I don't wash any away    
    
first passion emerges    
showing her face in the ripples    
she wants to talk to me    
about something of importance    
    
she says I've been starving my inner woman    
not allowing her any minxy play    
my stomach growls with her hunger to be entertained    
    
her ferocity needs to be fed and tended    
she being a great part of who I really am    
    
then melancholy floats to the surface
she comes forth when passion is lonely    
leaving her pain stained thoughts everywhere    
there's no getting around her messy feelings    
    
finally anger shows up    
he's not playing    
passion is his mistress    
and melancholy is in the way    
    
he wants to throw passion down
and ravage her body    
but Raven's bad self image    
is painfully always around    
    
it's ever present    
it blocks the freeing of emotion    
because even in dreams  
she sees herself as ugly    
    
with this lousy self image  
she throws a boulder in the pond
causing a tidal wave    
    
then sadly every other thought    
is washed away
