A Woman Who Haunts My Dreams
The first sounds of her peaceful voice
were like whispers from a cherub, soft
confident and formidable. Although my inner Chi
sensed some vulnerabilities. Still, she made me
feel like Siddhartha, cradled within a Lotus
in a room without corners. Saturated by her
thoughts and promises; consoling words that took
me without a choice to resist. Feeling safe, pampered
and soothed, like a coddled newborn attached
to a breast, suckling his first taste of warm,
mother's milk. Briefly the Native Indian Goddess Tozi
who summons you to her deer skin wigwam,
as you inhale Peyote waiting for the fire
dance to begin. Hallucinations and veracity fuse
wondering how she controls your own words,
vowing pleasures sweet as Patchouli incense. Like
a Karma Sutra princess one can only see with a third
eye. Rapture from a distance, hot as an awe-inspiring
stallion running in the sun. This alluring woman who
could make men jump unclothed into snow if they
dare one thought of her. Visions growling thunderous
as a cougar when hunting buffalo. She consumes
you. Starving your doubts, and seducing your macho
valor like a speech from the immortal Rani Laxmibai,
as you chase her into reveries that slaughter
your virility because at heart you envy both her body
and soul. You now lay face to face with an amorous,
carnal lady that you cannot covet, nor keep without
end. A magical child of light, apparition of dreams
where you embrace her nude, but only if she wishes
for an evanescent moment. Twinkles of erotic passion
that can only survive in your memory. Split transfers
of euphoria steering you into seventh heaven
where you flash glimpse paradise. Wanting her, if
only for a second where you can savor the verve
from a female Deity. Venus of wonderment, ecstasy
and utopia; what gifts have the sea and eternal sky
given you? Infinities of discernment are nakedly
modest compared to what this lady knows. Nonetheless
how auspicious the man she allows to look into her
eyes, glance deep within her spirit, and then surrenders
respectfully as he humbly beseeches … teach me.
