paradise of galilee


                                pomegranate garden

            forest of grape green vine

anemones
           and
                lilies

garden redolent
                 with saffron coloured roses

     black skinned woman of dusk      
                    milk
                           and
                                  honey
                                             fragrant

     henna adorns your wrists and ankles

green rue
         gennesaret jewels
                             hair black satin
these adornments
                                        your grape vines
                                              & wine
   lapis formed language
                                    of desire

             argot
               of                    cast at honeyed feet
          flowers     

these already belong to you
                                       your
saffron robes                        hand
                                            petals and sweet figs

belong to noon as to morning
             
           and                     you turn against the sky
drink damask rose             
                             he sighs

            jeweled                   lapis         
       woman                 woman         

        woman of desert and wilderness

jeweled woman language woman
                                               with
  green robes                     myrhh scented hands
               green bed
                              lilies and roses

       he sends you sweet figs and dates  
                   you eat them
                                          dusktime myrhh
   already olives glisten
on                                 flower
your                                  language
mouth                                      gestures
            you stretch out
                   etched wrists

the gardens voice                 wild pomegranate

            his ardour
                              a veneration  
                                                          yours
                        
                        
an experiment..in colour and style..and it was a LONG one for me....

This is unbelievably sexy, visceral, luscious. I feel like Lilith reading this. Gorgeous, mate. Gorgeous.
