Odd like waves of silvergold twilight
the roots of your ancient hunger
spread through the sensuous belly of this earth
surge and stretch like underground lightning
nibbling the fruit of a joyful delight.
What you taste is less than half of what I am.
The stem and bud of your purpose and need
breaks the drought-hardened surface
like an over-thirsty young lover
licking at honey on an angry bear’s paw,
naked as a raindrop and green as good fortune
beneath the curious adoration of the sun
you travel circles of gold inside circles of gold
your jade leaves and pregnant petals
like the breasts of Venus shaking tambourines
till thunder weeps wild his wild and dreamy ballad.
Through my mouth light flows reflections of your soul dressed in painted skins.
Around this world and above it
from Jupiter to Andromeda to the garden in your eyes
you sail love’s blossoms all over this universe
each one delivers the infant of a new star
rising as you shine, shining as you rise
Spiral Flower trembling a cool hot breeze against the dawn of her ascension.
A black skylark rolls time on his tongue
singing rivers of angels to carry her through.

Love can certainly makes us do some incredibly amazing things... if love made you do this then I say "superb" may love continue to inspire you, as your words pour forth. You leave me breathless, and swirling in a sea of vivid imagery.
"A black skylark rolls time on his tongue
singing rivers of angels to carry her through." ---> A magnificent vision of heavenly angelic imagery. Poetry penned as only a Master Poet is able :)

Words from a lexicon selected by a wise soul
composed the rich imagery of "Spiral Flower Ascending"
to please the nose of Phoebus with the scent of knowledge;
enchant Erato, and delight the ears of Euterpe with the rhythm of musical wisdom through the lines of this masterpiece titled,
"Spiral Flower Ascending".
I salute You, Sublime Poet!
