2 Oc
White Lunar Dog
My Spirit falls –
shattered
By Barricades more
solid
Than any mortared
Brick could fuse
Unwittingly I
descend
Into the seventh
Hell
Of lusty Phrases
worn with Use
Divorced and
desperate I came here
To seek myself – observe and grow
Beyond the vapid
Realm of Mediocrity
Cradled by sweet
Reason my Soul
Reclaimed itself
into a Structure girded
Well against satanic
Mockery
You caressed my
Body’s Curves and Spaces –
The trembling of my
Womb
Held you closely
dark and deep
In loving you my
Spirit grew half-strong –
Giddy with Delight
to reach
The Height of
long-forgotten Dreams
But Night and you
together
Blasphemed my sacred
Peace –
The Wish to love
became the Wish to please
Betrayed by the shallow
Light behind your Eyes
I lay shrouded in
Deception
I stumbled then but
I will rise again.

Kin 210: White Lunar Dog
I polarize in order to love
Stabilizing loyalty
I seal the process of heart
With the lunar tone of challenge
I am guided by the power of spirit
I am a galactic activation portal
Enter me.
To exemplify the courage to change is already heroic.*
