Across, (once) unholy
by Axilea MU → (All Poetry by Axilea MU)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

At the end of the night,
finally comes the mineral moment
of unwanting;
                  a free fall,
to test the lustrous thread
and taste infinity,
by traveling through
                  crisp, frozen layers of loss.

There, I see the      cracks
multiple reflections  (truths)
in need of reconstruction
- a unifying breath.

My hand then puts together
opalescent feathers
like cards laid on the dinner table
in a place almost defined
between bread crumbs and dripping candles.

So the mandala of peace appears
when Isis opens the chest
                 to suddenly free my heart
where revelations are written,
reflected in my irises at dawn.

At dawn, naturally emptied,
instead of wanting
(and wanting, and wanting),
mirrors in mirrors,
                blades against blades;
once separated signs
now form new shapes:
drops of garnet blood
form crosses and crystals.

In a moment,
all the sacred pieces
(of me) are assembled to form
a whole.

   Emptied again,
             yet embodied:
                    a cup, a circle, so full.

Axilea - Thought provoking as always. Enjoy your language of images that expresses the spiritual journey. Many quotable lines, but I especially liked the paradoxical ending:

Emptied again,
yet embodied:
a cup, a circle, so full.

What magnificent writing, Axilea...

You are indeed an inspiration.

Axilea,
The distinct feeling that I as a reader am intruding but am welcome nonetheless as you lead me through an exegesis of wants. This poem stimulates and enriches intellect, heart and spirit.

Yes, indeed... like the sun coming up with a healing and strengthening warmth and with consolation after a night of heavy fever. This speaks to me on several levels that I can't quite understand - like a language I recognise but have never learned. All I can do is to reiterate the lines so that their power invades where it will... and it does! Beautiful poetry that does what all good poetry should do: awaken, stimulate, mystify and surprise. xx

I love the little metaphors so subtly hidden throughout this poem. It leaves me feeling as though I am walking on personal holy ground... so I go, treading softly...

Dear Charlie, I was (not so) secretly hoping for you to do so. Irises are reflected in irises. And poems in poems. :)

Oh my, incredible.

Only from ones hand can be constructed these worths. Passion formed from Egyptian's
gold is best served only to a kindred soul that is old. And you have an old soul, and is seen in the tempered beauty of your words.
You have the eyes of a sage, the heart of an angel, and the wisdom of the ages lost in time.

Mmmmm. I love this--a little flower of faith reawakening. I especially appreciate those "i.rise.s at dawn". I like yours better than mine, so I'll tuck these lines into my black bag when you're not looking...
