Image for the poem her name was gentleness

her name was gentleness

 
gentleness becomes me
when she enters in repentance
tenderly breathing life into my soul
giving instead of taking  
 
bleeding me of my rage
I sigh and give in
slowly opening...a blooming flower
perfuming the air with sweet incense

my prayers unfurl  
and take flight in the heavens
lighting doves of offering
 
I don't understand what I am
only I have a place in this universe
gentleness enters and turns on all the lights
with an easy sway...she walks into my sacred halls
 
she reminds me I'm a woman with needs
my repressed feelings ache with desire
tears caress my face as I awaken in understanding
enlightenment happens in a moment
 
when the dawn appears
and you realize you're just a child
being groomed to crown a deity
 
your lusts finally satisfied  
when you come in submission
