(THE NEW NEW) A POETIC DIVERSION IN THE KEY OF LOVE... DEDICATED TO DONETTA RHODES...
The first time ever I heard your voice I blinked...
Upon opening my eyes I found myself on a new world full of brand new possibilities.
The sun beating down on my newly recreated dome where thought patterns rearranged to accommodate you.
My stream of consciousness evolved and absorbing of you threatened to sweep me away.
I but a facsimile of a man until your words reached my ears... Beat upon their drums.
My sighs once bitter winds becoming sweet air as I inhaled and exhaled you.
Breathed you deep and fell reflecting into the realm of pineal meditation.
I a speck so infinitesimal on the cosmic scale.
A piece of dust shimmering in filtered sunlight.
In the vast expanse we met... such insurmountable odds we faced.
Your sonics the catalyst for my rebirth as I once suspended stood anew.
A warrior of old awakened in these sordid times at the end of our conquest for now is surely the time.
It spoken of in many languages and .sang of in so many tongues.
Talked of as heaven and hell.
The promised land.
I hear your voice my queen...
I listen to its rise... It's fall as it melodic plays in my mind.
I listen to your voice my queen as I born again sway to the magnificence of your song.
