Darkness Redefined
Darkness needs to be redefined, not as a state of non-light or something negative, undesirable, or frightening -- but as a state of non-being, formlessness prior to creation; to be or not to be; light/dark is not so much about an either/or (duality) mentality as it is about the Merging, Uniting of energies. The idea or potential of anything already exists within the warm, gestating waters of darkness, the primordial chaos, the state that must be returned to before a new order can emerge. Light contains the information that the seed/idea needs in order to become “form” - and the dark is the 'home' where things simmer, stew, brew, gestate, and are nurtured so they can grow, heal or expand. The dark is a good, benevolent place like a warm, wonderful, welcoming Womb. :)

Victorian Love Poem
She prepares her wild soul,
with lilacs and lack of fear.
Her heart yearns for a home,
she feels it coming near.
“Come softly, beloved,” she beckons,
“lay your burden upon my breast
scented with lavender
for your weary head to rest.”
Heaven on earth,
her body worships thee,
with kisses sweeter than wine,
God of her idolatry.
Thy soul she will tend
til death and beyond.
Take this poem
as pledge of her love-bond.
with lilacs and lack of fear.
Her heart yearns for a home,
she feels it coming near.
“Come softly, beloved,” she beckons,
“lay your burden upon my breast
scented with lavender
for your weary head to rest.”
Heaven on earth,
her body worships thee,
with kisses sweeter than wine,
God of her idolatry.
Thy soul she will tend
til death and beyond.
Take this poem
as pledge of her love-bond.

Piper Methysticum (Mystical Poetry)
Piper Methysticum
by Kathryn Preston
Archetypal lovers
come and go
ebb and flow
like lava on the move
glowing crimson
volcanic
voluptuous
dark and daring,
inviting
Concubitia
to propitiate the gods
in ritual passion,
activating the mystical umbilical,
a secret passageway
connecting past and present,
uniting opposites,
in ecstatic eruptions
and solar distortions
in a 3-D world
simultaneously
going global
and collapsing,
unmasking
economics and
plate tectonics,
paradigm shifts breeding
chaotic dynamics,
jazzy fusions of duality:
Nietzschean and Anarchist
Ubermalcontents and Bolshevists,
dandies and dykes,
poets and propagandists.
Where do I fit?
How to be
fundamentally me
and put my love into action -
that is the question.
