spellbound

look deeper
into the darkness,
where your eyes
cannot go,
but only your heart
and her ways,

feel into the bowels
of this sacred earth,
where silence reigns
those darker folds,
where seeds lie
pulsing
with the breath
of new worlds
waiting to mate with you,
and knit your womb,

a timeless waiting
to break open
their outgrown shells,
with the gentlest caress
of a love falling
with swords of rain,
into the writhing guts
of that darkness,
rising,
spellbound.
