With the waning of the new moon

My soul rises

The shadows that are carried through cracks in the kitchen door,

past my favorite spot on the floor and over the cat

My gaze is set in the darkness, the tones caught in my throat

Strictly bohemian , as I move bare, through my abode

Winding down hallways and pausing only by the window

A force indeed, and can that be seeing as self-righteous?

There are things that frighten my sweet spirit

And bodies that cause rebellion

Gifted with my kiss, one hungered for me

That evil smile brought to my features

Wondering if I will leave others in my wake

My essence is a rarity

My desires unwavering

Insatiable

To no one do I belong, only connected

In a whisper of a breath I ride past you

Dreads flying, freedom

Contented in my own state of being

A dark child never to be tamed

Eternal gypsy

No longer alone, no longer afraid

The dance of the wolves calls me

The beat of the drums woos me

Into the flamesfollow me..I dare you..

"Essence is my signature poem. It was created out of frustration and my awakening. It celebrates the women and the darkness..not evil, but the beauty and the sensuality within me"

Initation into the Dark Goddesses

 

Drums echo in the night air

Tambourines twinkle

Reverberating between the lull of air conditioners

And wolfhounds howling

In my sadness, laying in my empty bed

Battered and bruised from societys ills

The soft whisper of moonbeams pierce my spirit

And still the drums call

Wrapping a shawl about me

I venture into the blackness, barefoot, virgin

Wild grey eyes flickering as soft coyotes fur

As warm earth encases my feet

Through the grove of trees burst forth-

Shards of blues, violets, emerald greens and vibrant reds

Swirls of silks, satin and calming cotton

A hawk speeds overhead

And I step through the circle

The vision given to me, seeping through the strains of a violin

Women, everywhere

Ethereal light and mysterious dark

The spin of the circle as they danced to Gaias light

Nuit, the mother welcomed me with the sun and the stars

Sekmet sat amongst the flames

A swirl of a small river flowed at Yemayas feet

Brigit spoke to the heavens and Maat beckoned to me

The rhythm only increased, and my soul was separated

Violin poured into the empty air, my locks falling freely

Joining hands with Lilith and Oya, the thunderclouds revolved

A flash of grey to green, a natural beauty

The horses were summoned a flash of fire

Riding, riding with White Buffalo Woman

Into the mists of Avalon.

"The Dark Goddesses represent the wild beauty, the untamed in women"

Bohemian

By K. Lynn Pitts

 

Barefooted I run through Chicago streets,

The sun greeting a lost Queen

The winds caressing my dreads like a fumbling lover

Focused on the here and now

Trailing the future

But leaving smiles in my wake, in your past memory

Humbled before me, silver armbands mark the Goddess

I can see the questions in your eyes

The trail of your tongue over dry lips

My aura dangled before you, forbidden

Smoldering gazes from store bought divas

Au Naturale creeps off of my lavender and vanilla scented skin

Young men, pay attention to your elders

Eternal gentlemen as they tip their hat, and let me read what lust simmers

Just below the Chicago heat

No this isnt a statement of superiority

It is a proclamation of the positivity that fuels my spirit

Expressing through my soul and not afraid to shine...
