Poetry of Love, Loss, and the Occult
Tortured Passion


How can I wait for you?
Your love saturates my vision,
Your passion teases me, awakens me
To the years, the centuries of pain...
The snake coiled at the base of my spine,
Kundalini shrinking, spinning and bursting,
Rising upwards toward our connected,
Ascending minds.

Karmic pain,
I can taste it on the air,
Searching me out, Reaper of love
Pulling me into the past, I can taste it!
Bittersweet, oh, so bittersweet...torture.
Why not the flames again,
Why not the live-burial,
Why not the poisoned arrow in the heart?

How can I say I am sorry enough,
My mistakes are raw still,
My wounds are still open,
God...
Open bleeding sores, thick-skinned wrinkles of pain
Lining my soul, coating my mind in self-protection.
To lie open and vulnerable,
What will you do to me, when will you see?
