Life and Themes

From the dark side comes a light
It lands like a butterfly
on the vase which holds
the white rose of the night.
The morning flutters.
The sunlight wavers
behind the hill.
The gypsy spirit wakes up, stirs
the curtains on the door of the tent.
On and on the gypsy travels
to follow the moon
clashing in the lake with the spark of stars.
On and on the gypsy traveled to find out what every woman wants.
The gypsy traveled through lands of ice where women would not part their frozen lips.
On and on the gypsy traveled through wastelands and towns where all that a woman wished was the next meal for the sleeping child.
Passion, power, money,
Beauty, youth, fame,
long life, children and love;
these are the things
that make the stuff of women's dreams.
The gypsy spirit woke up and gave a look
at the light that landed on the vase
which still carried the white rose
sleeping in the light of the dawn.

Does it hurt to think and dream, a world where nothing is a sin, where nothing begs for forgiveness, where I create myself and immediately dissolve before time, the hunter tracks me down and nails me, puts me down under a selective square of a parody of what I made of me. an abstruse symbol, a watery grave where everything flows , nothing is held. And in the very moment of saying this I know, how I yearn to create a body, a body that I could call You, a body, a You that will give me a name, a name that will never be erased Shared privately • View activity The Cloberth +1 Food for thought.

Horse Sacrifice : Significance Tighe, Sushama, Sheikha

  The universal significance of horse-sacrifice: 'ashwamedha' in Vedas: "We mortals who owe our Self to Time are performing a sacrifice ceaselessly. The Dawn (Usha) is the head of the sacrificial horse ; the Sun his eye, the wind his breath; his open   mouth the universal Fire (Agni), and Time, measured by our human parameter as year is the body of the sacrificial horse; the sky his back, the atmosphere his belly, the four quarters his ribs, the seasons his limbs, the half months and months his joints, days and nights his feet, the stars his bones, the clouds his flesh."

  . I was like a sleeping sea. You woke me up and the storm blew through. I shake my waves, I sink my ships; I climb to the sky and punish stars... I'm ashamed and hide between my folds, I go crazy and kill my fish. Don't look at me with fear... You wanted it... Alfonsina Storni
