The Queen of new Times
26 February 2016
You tied me
To winds that shook sands
In deserts
Where sky lands
In burning temples that shake
With tremors now past
They slew fast
Emblem of the faith
More than spate
Less than fate
I offered Heart to relate
To sunken Time’s wheel
The motion
A picture of Age
Withering
Under suns
Thighs tightly pressed like stern nuns
Banishing the love
They offer
Slates of repentance
The woes swift
Soul adrift
None in Heart for remembrance
Of miracle’s dove
She flew low
Battlefields hurled through
Lost ages
Time backward
The regained wings now awkward
Seagull in making
She calls me
A cook for all broths
Glory spent
In baking
As the light gathers the moths
Darkness now vanished
Wishing hells
They forsake purpose
Throttle days
Whisper nights
We fly through the drunken plights
Lights fading in eyes
Winding wells
To bottom of souls
Discover
Light’s darkness
Silent breath a lone witness
Of body double
They shrink rhymes
Within my heart’s sighs
Dreamtime flies
Words gather
Liquid honey from mother
The Queen of new Times

“I offered Heart to relate
To sunken Time’s wheel” — I love the idea that time is a wheel that’s sunken. I keep wondering what it’s sunken in!
“They offer
Slates of repentance
The woes swift
Soul adrift
None in Heart for remembrance
Of miracle’s dove” – I love this stanza; we need to let our woes go and make room for “miracle’s dove” to bring peace 🙂

Yes, to bring peace Melinda! Would that not be lovely? The best of quests 😀
I guess Time could be sunken in sands of Time (lol) or in minds or in space, etc…

Yes that would be lovely! It is the best of quests. Perhaps you’ll write a piece on sunken time and explain the mystery or wrap it in an enigma! (no pressure) 😉
