not what breaks your heart

not what breaks your heart,

but what hardens it –

this causes true harm – Djanet Tozeur

“feed on us before you bury us” – Anais Nin

 

he could not find you amazing
he could not touch your mystery
he could re call vast wilderness
adrift among archetypal feminine
a wash among deltas
Venus like salt mingling with new rain
blood like midnights paling   lunary

a pleasure beyond wounds
a mingling beyond physicality
a hungrier type of mouth
willing to feed and to be fed upon

hearts desire ~ images and words via pd lyons

 

If you follow anyone other than your self,

won’t you always be lead astray?

To know your hearts desire,

shouldn’t you first look into it?

then won’t  your actions be in accord?

 

These Words by PD Lyons from As if the Rain Fell in Ordinary Time,erbacce-press 2019

 

These Words

 

from the tiredness of my bones
not syllables of warm water mouths
rather emanate rich with marrow silent sensations
hot cold
soft foetal
crescents of your ears
depth deeper than you know of your eyes
the vast rift of tears
your endless heart

alone sometimes in the dark
I have been a labour for you
silently aloud
likewise you should read
these words so unlike other words
each window through which invisible creatures
of what cannot be said climb

true

 

 in the emptiness of my heart

the bliss of all beings

Maybe its time to surrender? maybe its time to “forget”

Maybe the best way to remember

is to forget history.

to be free of all the ancient and not so ancient fears.

maybe the best way to honour the fallen and maimed

is to bring forth a courageous world – one heart at a time,

courageous enough to not become enslaved to the same errors

that justified so many deaths and miseries before?

A courage based on kindness not right or wrong?

One heart at a time – how about yours?

 

Maybe its time to surrender?

ruff notes on a blue paper with photographs by pd Lyons

 

just another piece of my heart

 my little blue wolves

someday soon

the hunter

lonely

vulnerable

edible

will come

don’t worry

 

She on many occasions

felt an entanglement

of her own physicality

No matter how much

knowledge acquired,

philosophy believed in,

a mans world stuck in her head

and not the James Browns version.

 

our young pale fish bodies

enter paler our silver blood

occult our hearts still

 beat  mono chromatic 

          mono chromatic

          mono chromatic

porcelain knows nothing

of our muted skin
