Poem Artwork


 

its rhythm steady
taught tight the skin
sounding his eyes so deep
in gaze the muscles stretched
and curved my thighs
Atawaya I whispered
to his powerful medicine
given in initiation of trance 
 

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

           

with me now power
seducing a strength
spirits in love touch
longing desire a passion
writhed across my throat
soothing surfaced wisdoms
Atawaya I whispered
releasing emotions
buried so deep
 

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

           

softly the dying
upon altar self
begging release
beyond mystery
relentless its mercy
graceful hands of the healer
probing beyond shadows
Atawaya I whispered
to the light of the giver 
 

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

 

into me now
upon strings of time
secret caves explored behind my eyes
shedding our garments
upon missions discovered
words came to me that I didn’t know
in ancient  language I’d never spoke
Atawaya I whispered
take me home
 

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

 

merged into seeing
the blending of being
from a time of oh’ long ago
lights and bright colors
ecstatic feeling of lovers
then an out breath of mother
became the in breath of father
Atawaya I whispered
is it done?
 

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

drums and black feathers

sang through the night

 

we are always there
we are always one
when ever we are
we are always done
where ever we are
we are always at home
remember within
we are never alone

Beautiful poem, it transports the reader to a place that many only dream of. "Drums and Black Feathers" reminds me of an era long gone. It reminds me of my own heritage, Cherokee.

This is a magical composition, a true mistic paean scented with the benison of blissful living... "drums and black feathers" cleanses and heals the mind and soul.

In gratitude and reverent admiration.

The chants of the indian drums and the beating of hearts in unison sounds from the fire pit as the passion of this one ignites.
