Ophelia Dreams

Oh, fair Prince how your beauty lies
That the mere brush of a butterfly turns your head
The most fleeting of caresses turns your course,
And your constant weakness of will
Remains enforce.

Such thinking, thinking
Behind your fair brow
The flux of desire and illogic;
Setting aside your crown.
What sweet tortures you merit,
And stress upon my being
Misadventure and folly,
Deception unseemly.

But, I am beast in woman form
Not one to bow lightly
For in this tender heart resides a seed pearl
Of the rarest sort.
A gift, a treasure;
My priceless measure.

One can never guard oneself too carefully.
I will cleanse my sins in Diana’s pure water
I will be baptized in the blazing truth of the sun.
My heart and soul to guard,
My virtue to keep.
I dare’nt trust my heart and soul to thee.

Eternal Jewel

A sparkling diamond within my heart
A butterfly in chrysalis
A shining sun in a dark, damp cave
Gleaming sand in the desert waste

The diamond encased in coal,
And the pearl in oyster
Both made from pressure and pain
A pure birth after rain

Encased in clay, in waste
These years need to be sloughed off
Rock chipped away
Layer after layer
To find the eternal Me

A pristine sea
A jewel, a pearl
A soul’s flight back
Washing away the dirt, slime and evils
I’ve put upon myself

I sit in the Lotus
I am the jewel
Not covered in grime,
But an eternal jewel to shine.
