The Caverns





The caverns you have discovered in my heart

Winding deeply in pockets of ore …

Untouched by human dreams

Unstained by a living breath  

Have crystals of fruit sugar & coconut milk,

Hanging over a breeze-driven stream of honey

Dripping, into a vessel of love,

Threshing all purely distilled feelings of desire

Into a blue crystal-clear looking glass!



There … you read a sign at the side:

“All are welcome!”

“But only one can stay!”

“All may watch and admire,

“But only one can touch!”

“All may pay homage and pray,

“But only one can reside!”

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Nothing is as precious as the pearl that has grown in the oyster behind my ribs.
