It's Elemental

    my fingers are tapping to an unknown rhythm
    a sightless pattern just below consciousness
    feeding somewhere in the background of my eyes
    it swirls, dives, escalates, tumbles
    and words – my God, words! appear

    mysteries profuse my skin
    invisible knives punctuating reality
    letting the dreams out
    all the while
    tap tap tap
     
    and more: you, unquietly reaching
    impossibly leeching, receiving 
    growing dreams of my dreams
    with another blind seeming
    a different kind of feeding

    we, the complex together
    cradle each other now
    discovering pathways to ourselves
    shouting keys and rending walls
    loosing what we have found

    my knees are bent for you
    my skin is quiet
    I shed drops of Witnessing
    into the waiting of your hands

    the shadows have ascended
    silver rays reflected
    your world is becoming
    it is in all the voices

    here shall words arrive
    not on my lips, nor yours
    but still caressed

    a meeting of sorts
    out of sorts
    still always flowing

    an uncovering of
    of  what
    what
    will your tongue see
    your eyes hear
    our heart sing?

    Today I put up most of my poems on the site: http://elements.spiritalchemy.com/poetry.html

    Poetry isn’t good for much if it never gets read, so despite the fact that many of these poems are embarrassing for one reason or another, I thought I’d post them as a kind of experiment/record of my own transformation, since transformation is what the site is about anyway – hence the chronological ordering.

    This is also a chance for me to challenge my perfectionistic side and my tendency to keep parts of myself hidden – so there.
