Weaving Jasmine's Dance

soft Prelude

I

Jasmine Maiden sighs, exhales Twi-Light stars;

She sings exotic language in my ears;

My Soul, aLive, transforms her Words to flower;

Winter's Maidens dive to their caves in tears

II

She opens a Door to a moist mossy World,

where warm rough tongues trickle Music down your thighs;

"Maiden of Flowers paints your face ToNight!

 Gaze not upon Winter Ladies' weary eyes..."

Canto Pequeño I      (Pequeño...  please see endnotes)

Arrival

The Heat arrives, crimson-attired,

needle-Minded, ragefull;

His dubious euphony cacaphones my ears!

Sirens pierce me; (my love hears only soft Dreams breathe);  

Stars melt down - their grey shades darken me

(In Peace, my True Prince slumbers through to Dawn.)

Canto Pequeño II
la Tormenta

far-'way agonized tunings taunt my tears;
Frozen, I lie, prickled - o sumptuous fear!
I'm tethered to a schizophrenic Storm.
Unforewarned, a stranger here, but he finds me,
enfolds me in his Dreams; unquiet I lie -
a stranger in his arms or to myself?

Canto Pequeño III

Eudora's Play

Begone, maniacal King!
No space here for Jesters - only lovers!

  Eudora watches with wise old eyes; 

He waltzes me in musky, swampy, lustful, yearning Morn;

Kissed by Eudora's Joy, I've joined her Game -

Finally! - I'm honored to be stung;

we melt in steamy luscious Dreamers' Air

Why am I a chosen one,

to witness this rich spectacle?

I feel so beautiful to be stung

 (I see myself, a puppet prancing 'round emerald mounts,
hung, in the pre-Dawn rose, )

~~~~~~~~~~

Canto Pequeño IV
Jasmine's Web

Play me, move me, Maiden of Flowers;
Weave me into your faery-flocked wreath;
I never minded the stultifying Heat;
I rather loved His touch

~~~~~~~~~~

Canto PequeñoV

 Breathe

Jasmine Maiden sighs, exhales Twi-Light stars;

She sings exotic language in my ears;

My Soul, aLive, transforms her Words to flower;

 enchanted to be aroused so -
these bewitch-ed pre-Dawn hours -
tethered to the schizophrenic Storm
