Rediscovering Identity.

November 4, 2009

Listen to this
Falling deeper into the marrow that runs through my bones
Surrounded by the echo of ancestry and lineage
Messages travel through me, encoded in my blood,
A deep rich blue hue like fine French china;
I am not fragile as those saucers and teacups
My chips do not negate my beauty;
Though, like dinnerware, they do have stories [...]

For all Womyn.

November 3, 2009

Listen to this
When women are threatened by women–as long as they destroy and disrespect each other, as long as they view each other as competition instead of allies, womyn will forever be viewed as “lesser than” and the battle for equality will not only continue, but intensify.
When one womyn tears another down, walks all over [...]

Listen to this
i don’t have all of the answers, and my faith may not be the strongest, but i know this: i love passionately, and i hurt passionately. emotions run deep in me like rivers like breath like rivulets of blood. and when the challenges come, and the monster threatens to swallow me up, my [...]

And I Supplicate.

October 30, 2009

Listen to this
Suffocated by my own breath
air heavy with the stale weight of overwhelm.
STILL, A PLEA TRICKLES FROM MY LIPS.
Please G-d, Goddess, let the stars fall back into alignment.
Please spare all sentient beings from any and all unnecessary suffering.
HEAR MY PRAYER.
Please let there be peace; let it take root in the heart
and sprout wings. [...]

Once Again.

October 28, 2009

Listen to this

my mind takes me into Your arms–the one place i know that i am safe from all harm, HELD APART from the chaos of the world, the only mark of time our heartbeats DANCING in sync.

LOVING when You HOLD me…

When You HOLD me stillness FALLS.
… A VEILED PARADISE [...]

The Hour of Repentance.

October 28, 2009

Listen to this
WHERE IS THE ECHO THAT ONCE SANG IN MY DREAMS? And how did I soar so high above the tree-line for so long? When we are lost, is it because the world has cast us out? Or is it that we have somehow swiftly (though without knowing) cast out the world?
Please…
GRAB ME AND [...]

Glitching Sunlight.

October 28, 2009

Listen to this
Glitching sunlight pierces through the tired dust of apathy. “You will RISE AGAIN, and I will draw the trust out of your lips,” he said.
She nodded softly before curling back into herself. Sick of jumping from nightmare to nightmare, wondering if trust could possibly be aligned with truth. Wishing for a quick-start button [...]

She was Curled Up.

October 23, 2009

Listen to this
She was curled up, in a tight cocoon, and resting so precariously on the edge of a tree limb. It didn’t bother her that there were dangers; it didn’t even cross her mind, for wherever she was, home was, and home was always that perfect flavor of beautiful.

I WANT TO START FROM [...]

Darkened Night.

October 14, 2009

Listen to this
Thinking of you in the folds of darkened night sky and passing clouds.
THERE IS A MALA WOVEN BETWEEN OUR LIPS.
Sometimes, I wish I could fly past the void that plays such tricks, and just stretch out next to you, counting the beads as starlit constellations.

And I Yearn to Melt.

June 28, 2009

Listen to this
Right now, the world is spinning around me and I am dizzy with it. It would do me well to remember how to melt. To remember that I am the form that is malleable, the vessel that transmutes.
Sipping on now-cold peppermint tea (because forgetfulness is my favorite flavor on rainy days), I ache [...]
