Rumi-Nation Poem by William Waterway

Love reflects dew floating upon surface pedal blue
giving birth to rainbow hues, born of sun tears from longing's lovemaking
tear-bursting intercourse of Earth held tight beneath cosmic constellation
displaying spectrum for naked vision to capture-embrace-cherish-torture
as a moment vanishes, so too does playful thought of beauty's wild child beast
with passage laden by painful joys for seeing unseen gifts of knowing eye
pain so deep it sheds the heart like drops of water torn asunder by claps of
thunder

of telling sly words revealing subterranean flows of vertical persona's smile
a seductive smile sucking life from loins yearning to yield into a dying world
as art speaks of ruptured soul unmasked by spirit's flame forever fire
blazing into hope beneath blind finery's gilded garments of bejeweled Pope
where hunger's thirst consumes secret worlds of being we may only imagine

to hear distant voice of desire arouse sleepy moods to heady heights
as future dreams swim to mist-filled land surrounded by deadly shoals
give enticing promise to frail romantic ruminations prone to drown in murk's
dark depths - depths strong shifted by tidal hands possessed of Luna
who together drag fear from recesses disguised by ego's pride deep inside

giving blessings of sight born into waiting mouth of lost tomorrows
so seed of light may illuminate lost promises foretold - when purpose will
reach across barren body of deadly repose - where love juices ferment and
flow forth into awakening springs
to slowly seep into those
who sleep
