She very much like he for a reason unknown to me softly comes...... unbeckoned appearing in the deep like fresh waves venus rising, thrust above and petals unfurled so sweetly her hair vivid and strangling her shoulders, cascading discreetly between the V of her collarbone and the mounds of soft flesh tendrils upswept around the breast Is it mimickry or a secret I long to be that comes calling to me or reverie for something so beautiful and soft I yearn and the moon knows my foolish delight the way a sigh becomes a bite on my tongue I am undone by the image like my cells are full of Y and not X I am full with why and not sex Why not sex? For I know the secrets I know the ways and the regrets In friendship and in longing I know how to make it grow and haze into a full wide mind and echo through the surging of her veins until two become three and more until there is blindness behind the colours until there are gaps in time I knowI know I will come and sigh as you lay a hand in mine dazed by the imagery again.... what could be if I took the chains away from me and loved without boundary or decision if I freed us from the prison of our sex I wrote this kinda' fast. Whatchu' think? IP: Logged |

I like it Pix Here is what I think, kinda sloppy but nontheless in English Where are you sweet LOVE Never found Dust covered and old Long forgotten I have always believed I will see you If I never did look You’ll be there In the corners Of my aging eyes A quick shadow, A strange shape Just a thought You will find ME.

Oh so delightful to read pix! Enticing.. I love it!! I gasped as I read some parts.. quote: and haze into a full wide mind and echo through the surging of her veins until two become three and more until there is blindness behind the colours until there are gaps in time I know..
Bewitching.. like it was written on a moonlit night filled with magic & electricity.. Wearing a fresh wreath of moon flowers in her hair and a vine of hemlock around her arm, Cerridwen stands behind her magick cauldron with a crescent moon overhead. In Celtic lore, Cerridwen was the queen of witches and ruler of waning moon festivals. Her cauldron of knowledge was said to contain the secrets of life itself. IP: Logged |

Yin.. graceful & sad.. true words, well for me. Everyone finds beauty in poetry that they relate to; quote: I have always believed I will see you If I never did look You’ll be there..

Sheaa, thank you... I feel so exposed trying to share my poetry in a language that I haven't mastered yet. Yes, it is sad (quite bitter actually) but then I have Saturn in my 7th(feels like one will never find TRUE love)

I think I like it! A few months ago I was fortunate enough to travel to Italy. While in Florence, I visited the Uffizi and paid homage to Bottecelli's Birth of Venus. I stared and stared and stared .... Your poem immediataly reminded me of that. And it gives words and form to a strong though vague emotion. Thank you pixie! You get better and better at this, don't you? IP: Logged |

TINK! You're right - that describes it perfectly.. hmm infinitely tender and beautiful, like the painting; specially this part I thought; quote: appearing in the deep like fresh waves venus rising, thrust above and petals unfurled so sweetly her hair vivid and strangling her shoulders, cascading discreetly between the V of her collarbone and the mounds of soft flesh tendrils upswept around the breast..
How wonderful that you went to Italy. I went to Venice in 2001 and loved the architecture and art there.Yin ~ you're doing marvellously - I wouldn't have guessed you haven't mastered the language as yet! Now I really need to read up on astrology to grasp the full language there! IP: Logged |

Yup, that's the one. When a poem and a painting match, is there anything more glorious in the whole entire world? Next time I go to Italy I'm going to discreetly tape pixie's poem to the frame. Pixie, my heart grows exactly 2.4 sizes when I read your poetry. IP: Logged |

Wow! Thank you! It's funny, as yin had asked me to try my hand at that sort of poetry ( as a lark) and I did conjure up the memory of that painting, as I wrote it. I didn't realize until I clicked your link how close I was. Neat. I am glad you felt the painting in my imagery... that's awesome! Thank you for making me see it as well.Yin.. I can't believe english isn't your first language either!!! Great.. no , fabulous job!!!! And thank you also, Sheaa.. I addressed you in appreciation on the last poem thread you responded to, and I still appreciate! 2.4 times? AAawwwwwww!!!! IP: Logged |

Pixie, your poetry makes me want to be a woman P.S. I've always felt misfortunate to be born a woman. IP: Logged |

Oh....... really? I looooooooooove being a woman. really.. think of it! If you really sit back and think about what being a woman means.. being pliant, soft, welcoming open, being able to express things, be yielding yet strong.... literallly Yin. To be both active and passive.. have power to embrace he duality of all. Really!!! To house life.. to at least have the option of housing life. This is a sacred thing and we are so fortunate to be women! Especially now, in this social climate.*hugs to Yin's womanhood! IP: Logged |

I know Pixie, I understand what you are saying but then... where is the fun in it all? If a woman is so emotionally awaken... and giving... and accepting... and loving... and forgiving... and caring (the list goes on) AND strong at the same time - sounds more like an unavoidable burden to me.IP: Logged |

I suppose it is your definition of 'burden'.I see it as 'blessing'. Not everyday, of course..... but who else but a woman can walk into a room, be sweetly sympathetic, flirt with the babies and wink at the men.. All the same woman, all the same time. AND is sincere. There's more, I know, there's more. I hope you embrace it a little more each day, me too, for that matter. IP: Logged |
