A Dreaming Desire

A Dreaming Desire Cover
by Staeorra Rokraven

A spark comes coiling to the edge of sleep
From realms arcane which have become unknown
And from this psychic well does beauty leap
A vision cherished for to call my own.

This wispy strand now takes it's shape in fire
And fueled by sources boldly to enchant
Then forming curves from wish of heart's desire
A Woman's eyes all graced with Elvish slant.

The shield maid's arms then reach and wanting clasp
We intertwine within her streaming hair
Then sighing voices send a heartfelt gasp
As fragrance heralds tawny skin now bare'd.

This honored Lady may in shadows walk
But fate may someday find my heart unlock.

O Kali Mother Full Of Bliss

O Kali Mother Full Of Bliss Image
O Kali, my Mother full of Bliss!

Enchantress of the almighty Siva!

In Thy delirious joy Thou dancest,

clapping Thy hands together!

Eternal One! Thou great First Cause,

clothed in the form of the Void!

Thou wearest the moon upon Thy brow.

Where didst Thou find

Thy garland of heads before the universe was made?

Thou art the Mover of all that move, and we are but Thy helpless toys;

We move alone as Thou movest us and speak as through us Thou speakest.

But worthless Kamalakanta says, fondly berating Thee:

Confoundress! With Thy flashing sword

Thoughtlessly Thou has put to death my virtue and my sin alike!

Why Disappear Into Formless Trance

Why Disappear Into Formless Trance Image
"O wavering mind,"

"awaken your upward-flowing awareness."

"Become the sublime warrior Goddess Kali,"

"who moves with graceful power"

"through the vast landscape of the body."

"Her divine form, like a black storm cloud"

"illumined by the Sun"

"She stands unveiled,"

"Her long hair falling free like a monsoon rain."

"Be lost in awe of Her, oh mind,"

"for you will never comprehend Her."

"She dwells as the primal lotus of concious energy"

"and also as the thousand-petal blossom,"

"complete enlightenment."

"She is none other than primordial bliss,"

"the great swan ever swimming,"

"through the lotus jungle of the subtle body."

"Gaze intently into the blazing heart of joy"

"and you will perceive my blissful Mother,"

"matrix of all phenomena."

"The vision of Kali"

"kindles the fire of unitive wisdom,"

"burning down conventional barriers,"

"pervading minds and worlds with light"

"revealing Her exalted beauty"

"as universal flower garden"

"and universal cremation ground,"

"where lovers merge with Mother Reality"

"experiencing the single taste of nonduality."

"This ardent poet of the Goddess cries;"

"Every lover longs only"

"to gaze on the unique Beloved."

"Why close your eyes?"

"Why disappear into formless trance?"

(Ramprasad 1718-1755)

The Divine Image

The Divine Image Cover By William Blake from Songs of Innocence

To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love,
All pray to their distress,
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.
For Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love,
Is God our Father dear;
And Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love,
Is man, His child and care.
For Mercy has a human heart;
Pity, a human face;
And Love, the human form divine:
And Peace, the human dress.
Then every man, of every clime,
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine:
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.
And all must love the human form,
In heathen, Turk or Jew.
Where Mercy, Love and Pity dwell,
There God is dwelling too.

Charge Of The Spring Maiden

Charge Of The Spring Maiden Cover
am she who graces the wild woods.
I make life renew within the land.
Fertile fields are my domain,
And all who look upon my face are reborn.
My voice is the gentle wind.
I teach the leaves my song and they
Sing of peace and new life.

I am the memory of pure white snow
Graced with shoots of green.
My birth was gentle and yours may be also.

Maiden am I!, virgin am I!
Remember me when passions overwhelm.

Darkness and light are met within me.
I am the threshold unknown,
The mystery of fertility yet untested.
I am the gateway to the beginning,
And i stand guard at the time of endings.

I am spring, I am power, I am goddess!

The Indian Serenade By Percy Bysshe Shelley

The Indian Serenade By Percy Bysshe Shelley Cover I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me -- who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream--
And the Champak's odours
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The nightingale's complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must on thine,
O beloved as thou art!

O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last
