Lightbulb The Lotus Within

The Lotus Within

petals open wider
soft sweet whet with appetite
for more
for thickness
for deeper
for richer
for nicer
reaching for higher
and taking every dewdrop in
opening
for more
i hear the music wrapping new streams of sound
to my silence
She plants a new seed for every open pore
in my supple skin
Mama Earth befriends me so divinely
this love is so decadent
i cannot be selfish with Her
i share the water through the Sista Wit
i grow from rich soil and plentiful root
Sprit
Soul
Mind
Heart
Body
all in sync with God in Me
you feel her?
you see her?
she walking with you
crying with you
dancing with you
furrowing her brown too
on the same mission
from beginning
may this journey
never
ever
end.
release. ommmmmmm. release


Queen Cynequa
written sometime this summa

Hotep Queen,

As I read this piece I am taken back in time to when our ancestors were cultivating not only the land, but their minds. The mental picture that is painted shows flowers and a beautiful garden being tended. Keep the pen flowing.
