Carnal Execution

your body is a revolution

eat you rich

call that carnal execution

we got that mythic chemistry

once-in-a-lifetime

every memory is ecstasy

together we make magic baby

head in heaven

you got me dreamin’ lately

I’ll drown your sorrows, unsung

my siren song

got you speakin’ in tongues

divine quake, watch you tremble

find solace in me

my body is a holy temple

somethin’ ‘bout my energy

treasured sacred

got that supernatural remedy

-kalika

underwhelmed

“Don’t wear shorts above

the knees as you do that way.”

“Why do you come to work

dressed so fancy every day?”

“Flirt more, work for it;

I find that’s the hottest.”

“Try not to be so sexual,

women should be more modest.”

“You should wear less makeup,

don’t hide away your gorgeous face.”

“Wear more makeup

because you look so tired today!”

“Make sure you dye your hair

to the roots so it’s the blondest.”

“You should change your hair

back to brown; I’m just being honest.”

“Don’t talk so much in class;

you’re taking up too much space.”

“Why don’t you talk more?

I know you got something to say.”

“You should finish up school,

to ensure you’re the sharpest.”

“Don’t go to school at all

if you want to be a real artist.”

If I let the world control me,

it’ll rip me to shreds.

It’ll take this tapestry I’ve woven

and turn it into threads.

If I let the world control me,

I won’t understand myself.

IF I WAS ALL THE WORLD

WANTED ME TO BE,

YOU’D FIND YOURSELF …underwhelmed.

Litmus Test

insurmountable mountains proved moveable on that summer day in July; the world was born to be beautiful, and excellence glazed over the sky.

I ‘stumbled’ into a doubtless morning; the air was crisp and clean, as if the sun rays dared blanket all that my eyes had ever seen.

the clouds whispered in their lover’s ears; and the birds played my favorite song, as I laid there ever-so quietly learning to hum along.

the sunshine kissed your stomach sweetly as the bees went shopping for new trees; and suddenly for a moment, I became who I wanted to be.

our laughter ‘slipped’ harmoniously in tune with nature’s pitch, seducing the trees to dance in windy rhythms; and once again, the world was rich.

I felt the ‘plunge’ of a joyous thrill overwhelm me as I tucked my head into your arms. musing ‘mellow’ and melting ‘yellow,’ my soul bubbled delightfully in your wild skylit warmth.

you ‘sprang’ and ‘spilled’ a wonderland under the love of bright sun beams; as I gazed down at your body, sweat ‘drops’ of dew began to bead;

and down into a land of day lit dreams, I serendipitously ‘fell,’ as they boldly glistened and gleamed lilting a tale they knew oh so well.

they chimed a melody that happily embraced the wishes of rainbows and wind; for these prismatic, dome ‘window panes’ contained all the keys to life’s origins.

they made oasis waves ripple across space, and time came to an end; now, I reminisce about those days in hopes to once again transcend.

Looking back…

I have a rather suspicious guess when I ponder about that lovely whimsical day

that I would have failed a ‘litmus test’ for true love’s kiss had never before done me quite that way.
