The Calla Lily Woman
I am of woman’s elegance and
energy, enthralled, who ever she may be.
For she flushes through my thirsty bones
as long as she is twenty feet away or so.
Of course the closer that she is, the better
because then if I am blessed,
I could studiously caress her,
inspect her, accept her, then afterward if
need be, reject her.
But if she should only choose to sit before me
for a time or half a time and make herself unknown to me
still I know in wonder what more there is
because of her laugh I swallowed,
and her eyes and face I was so graced to inhale
then breathe out my heaving chest
a multi colored prism ray of light
that floats onto her lotion lathered legs
I touch without me reaching out my sin stained hands.
If ever I should be so lucky I’d like to
taste and feel her slits and endless dripping dew,
all those parts she stores behind supposed chastity,
Victorian secrets laced with hints of rum and
flan, cinnamon and just enough of myrrh.
But if not and she were to keep my want of her I
tossed at her suppressed,
I am humbly but angrily content that
I was still enamored by all she is of
form and spirit, even from afar.
Lucky her that I am allured by her imploding volcanoes which
other men may ignorantly regard only as her dimples.
Revered, is her aging wrinkled forehead, those subtle
lines of wisdom that are a chosen place of rest for worries
which men have never been inspired of.
Her sloping, melting breasts make me feel so loved if I become
her push up bra.
If I were to love her, she would still feel wanted,
lusted for and seduced; for to drink of this my madness,
is to thirst for her very own blood,
like a she-wolf that feverishly licks foreign blood
from an Eskimo’s dagger that was placed blade up in hard packed snow,
that realizes not until to late, it is her tongue
now sliced becoming a blood fountain for her thirst .
I walk out among this Eden garden
where roses bloom in heartless reds
and daisies spring in bouncing glances
or where I may pick a row of blossoms that
I may make myself a scepter, for her a crown
though she would plant herself inside another’s dream. And
there to among the fields are independent tulips
who wait for serendipity, where also chamomile frustrates
my sense of smell, as her wafting freshness liberates me
at the pouring out of her surrendered soul.
I could without a doubt say so much more
and have you surely know that I am but a slave of femme fatal;
Or I could have chosen not to say these words
at all; but I’d like for you to think
that I am not without passion;
for every season has a flower who captivates and colors this old soul.
Rarely though for more than just a season;
until a calla lily picked
becomes one and all to me, I’ll continue still
to water the variety of them.
