Sanctuary

I

Carry so much here

Deep in my wonder lays a nation of spirits I continue to evoke even to my surprise

Wisdom grows me

Till I am

A priestess visualized

My abdomen aches when fake friends manifest and fall from me like fever healed by a blessing.

My loins laugh out children or ideas

Either a new birth

And once again I am in redemption of my worth

I am sick with creativity

Nothing egregious here

Careful of a lover taken

A soul must be worthy of intrusion upon my hidden treasures

Will their penetration spoil me or oil me?

Mountains of future threaten to make me more of what I am

Of what I pray to be

Filled is my temple by my creator of glory

I am a humble vessel

Guarding this gift

Sheltering this love

That drips from my lips

And puts sway in my hips

And all my sweet in betweens

And though I pass before you

So ordinary

Behold

My blessing

My Sanctuary.
