Claudia Butler Poems

Warm sanctuary coffin-entrusted darkness
Romantic notions of
Macabre delight.
In restless necromancy,
...

This bitter-sweet pain
Aches with the loss of love
Of a thousand lifetimes.
Tinged by the dawn,
...

Feel the power of my truth,
In triumphant return
Silent all these years.
And is my truth,
...

Turning over in ancient slumber,
Blood-hungry Gods stir within
A crystalline palace.
Forged from archaic spells
...

This journey began
Our paths do cross
To teach us anew.
Soul-bound from
...

BREATHE DEEP
Turn the cards
Up is down
Down is up
...

And with a jolt third eye is alive!
I stand erect,
Rooted to Mother Earth
And crown to the heavens.
