you have given me raving insomnia
'til i swear i've gone quietly mad
for the videoscape on the back of my lids
has impaled me like good cousin vlad
...
in the brown inky pools of the forest
'midst the great roots of trees now long dead
rolled in furs of great creatures since vanished
i have breathed near your shaggy dark head
...
onyx eyes reflect firelight glancing
gleaming skin inked in patterns now lost
feathers flutter 'twixt rawhide and beadwork
in the heap where our raiment was tossed
...
rasping gasps can be heard through the raindrops
crashing wind-slammed outside of our tree
raging thunder and lightning bow humbled
to this storm you are building in me
...
full summer sun's heat can't compete here
nor the dance fires on tribe-gather night
nor the steam breathing stones of the sweat lodge
no this blazes with soul ashing might
...
muscles strain tendons pop with the effort
to contain the great beast that's within
but the battle is lost in the driving
once the growling and howling begin
...
as the bone shaking excess is easing
while sweat mists from faces and hair
our eyes lock with deep sudden meaning
deja viewing the other soul there
...
eagles and wolves mate forever
forever's a long time to wait
our soul's eyes stood sentry for eons
knowing each that its never too late
...
there is magic of sorts in the wind love
auric light power flaring through bone
this expansion of spirit awakes you
ancient dreams leave you never alone
...
in the silence and depths way past midnight
with the blankets and bedding wide thrown
alone naked and aching i call you
to account for the madness you've sown
...
every songster is crooning about you
constant thoughts of you force me to smile
while i prance about grinning like manson
wicked monkeys want out for a while
...
this insomnia does have a good side
late night visions are making me sweat
as i fiercely dance bare skin to moonlight
'til every wee part of me's wet
...
oh i squirm and i whirl to the music
moon's performing with stars as they sing
time worn tales of the tree living lovers
and the joy their rejoining will bring
...
now when you awake in an hour
having dreamed once again our shared dream
and you stretch in the new risen sunlight
you will hear some far animal scream
...
it may sound like a woman frustrated
or perhaps like a woman in lust
all your thoughts will spin swiftly to northward
as you scent a familiar sweet must
...
then you'll harden at memory's savor
clenched by craving caresses of old
and begin to consider new actions
that others might find rather bold
...
lumination will drown out all worry
ancient spirits shall unearth a way
t'wards long detoured core deep reunion
gentle light guide our path to that day
...
touch my mind feel my fevered blood churning
pounding hearts match in shared echo beat
breathe in ragged and haunted and burning...
know the soul that's been laid at your feet
