these mirrored/mirroring eyes do shine for you and you and me as you and you as who we are... And Yes, for me! naked. free...
( My Words? Ah, Yes... So very me !)
this shining woman You may see inviting, yes inviting you to be! Do You See?
yet too, alone--I shine! and dance my dream, content here at the sea... ( My dance along the shore is who I am for me! )
self/lover
Oh, once, oh Yes. and yet, these eyes now wait, full wide green glimmerings/glistenings-- emeralds!
I long for you, yes You, I hope-- I wait for who, Sir? I wait for You, Sir!
dreaming now of lightly kissed eyelids, butterfly shyness wondering/wandering... wary, willing to learn again to feel the woman-full with all that we might be
Come dance with me along the shore and I will dance with you and you will know my Sea!
self/spirit
these eyes awake and weeping, shouting hoping, doubtful, seething wanting You to See!
Yes, See without/within and Feel and Weep along with me and Plead and Stand ... to understand-- I Pledge Allegiance to Humanity. Yes! I am passionate--
a screaming bleeding-hearted-spirit of an every Wo-Mankind mother of none and many and yes, I am proud to bear that passion/com- passion-- humbled only by those who need to be seen, ( so many Children scream! ) and all who go unseen-- ( or worse )
I want to be you and me and he and she and we and Yes, I dream-- and rationality is seen through the eyes of who I am! and so be it!
Come dance along the shore with me, my friends and lovers, children, sisters, brothers, others-- content or not, we will shine and be together, alone, naked and someday someday, all-- free?
