“Shameless Beauty” Bloom endlessly In tufted rainbow Hues of you Scented With life Luring Its sight Eating More light Your saturation suffuses Your abundance bears Your love inhabits the air Be Beauty unwieldy Unyielding To their pluck Their dares To fuck How can they?

Confession: A Poem

Rebecca Haywood

Sunday, 19 May 2019

Blog Micro-Blog

Confession: I am divine and I am human. I am all of it. I am woman. I am little girl. I am sex. I am purity. I am none of it. I am infinite in finite envelopes with names and places assigned. But what is my address? Who do you address in this dress, these shoes that stumble that sparkle that carry me home somehow, again, awake and wanting him and Him, human...

Two into One: An Ode to Duality

Rebecca Haywood

Friday, 22 February 2019

Blog Micro-Blog

“Two into One” Moonlit strangersDawn endangersTwo cups spilt Winter chimedWings alignedTwo coins laid Songs spunPrayers undoneTwo tears drop Empty dayDreams a wayTwo flowers fly Moonlit strangersDawn endangersTwo into one I wanted to share one of my recent poems with you all. It is an ode to duality, I suppose— a profession of love and a tale of our affair. Duality is not something we escape exactly. It is natural... when it is natural....

The Death of Prince Charming (repost)

Rebecca Haywood

Thursday, 14 February 2019

Blog Micro-Blog

In today's society, the search for true love often trumps the search for God but each is a worthy quest that, with the right map, will bring you to the same place— you. I struggled for years in my relationships with men and with God. Though I was raised to be an independent and self-sufficient woman, I secretly sought completion. I pushed and I pulled on their love— the part of me that...

Departure from a Dream

Departure from a Dream Heart aches Pain stakesAnother end That means To releaseAnd return again From sorrowThat borrowsYour breath awhile And beatsIts drumFor the mercantile Whose trade windsLean inA kiss for the bride AsleepIn the deepOf Love’s end With flowersAnd firelightInto Eve’s rising tide She driftsTill Night liftsIts veil from her eyes WakingBreakingInto Dawn. ~Rh——————How are y’all doing?

True Love ridesOn the whispers of old winds, Down long-forgotten roads of forever, Through candlelit towns And snow-covered castles. Oh, my Prince,I must bury you now In this cracked earthof my heart. For in its chambers There sleeps my truest love. Your death bringsHer awakening.

Surrender

Rebecca Haywood

Thursday, 20 May 2004

I can no longer linger here, For the tide is pulling me Away from this island of illusion. I awake in dark, holding myself. I awake in light, falling through wind. Surrender looks not to where she might land, But whispers to Infinity, sweet nothings.

Dissolution

Softened by the heat of the sun, I flow down this mountain side. Yearning for my re-union with You, I surrender to your heat, your fire; And it lifts me, that I soar invisible, Only to fall once again upon this Earth as rain wearing away her soils. Dissolve me from this earthbound grasp, That I may become one with You, That I may reach beyond this vessel of my experience, Beyond feast...

Whispering Circles

Friday, 15 August 2003

A forest deer greets the morning sun. Today her blood will spill; the hunt has begun. But death or birth, who is to say. Life's just passing through. In the wind, she rides once again, Whispering circles down to you. From her heart, a Siren's song of truth That carried the seed that she planted in you. "Open your eyes", she said, "and gaze through me, Through me and into you." For in...

Invitation

Rebecca Haywood

Saturday, 10 November 2001

Blog

We're two hearts beating, Two souls meeting, In the breath of a love unknown. We could dance in this moment; It could be forever. Our love only sleeps for its pleasure. So lay down your laws Or forget your cause; This love is constant in surrender. Resurrect softly, my Love, And shed your bones at the door. Love shall be your maker.
