Cave Of Her Heart

Cave Of Her Heart

The moon that shimmers in cave of her heart 
expands her consciousness vast as the sea 
whose waves lick body of the gasping Earth 
who shivers with ecstatic joy of love 
to be alive with hunger for true pleasure, 
then opens her small box of secret treasure. 

Awake in timeless glow of evening dusk, 
she hums as song of waves on golden sand 
explains conceptual beauty of the mind 
that crawls as turtle toward eternity, 
then chuckles at absurdity of wisdom 
designed with scheme of her new language system. 

Carving images of things in the sand 
with long wand that fell from the rowan tree, 
Selene ponders beauty of the face 
that glows with confidence of honest faith, 
yet trembles with unfulfilled spirit tension 
as her hand touches soul of his dimension. 

As yellow peplos gown flutters in wind 
that sprays sparkling foam of shy ocean waves 
gentle Selene glides over soft dunes 
to fill woven basket with turtle eggs, 
curious about grace of the clumsy creature 
that embodies courage of Mother Nature. 

Sharp arrow zings from glimmer of sunlight 
just close enough to nick her blushing cheek, 
so startled Selene twirls in surprise 
to stare at bearded man with golden bow, 
bright-eyed seraph who grins, I am Serapis, 
true grandson of both Osiris and Apis. 

Grasping hand of moon girl with bold intent, 
Serapis takes Selene on white horse 
from her wild ocean cave of liberty 
with eager hope that she will be his bride, 
so he crowns her in gold-pillared Serapeum 
to reign as his empress over Elysium. 

Waking at study desk in her dorm room, 
Selena ponders strange fantastic dream 
about the bearded man riding horned ram 
to battle some fierce alligator god, 
then tries to focus on thoughts about Heaven, 
distracted by eerie caw of the raven. 

Closing the thick biology textbook, 
Selena leans on fourth-floor balcony 
to gaze entranced at beauty of the moon 
that shimmers in ancient cave of her heart, 
then thinks about process of evolution 
that leads from warring tribes to global nation.
