A Tail Feather Message

Posted on December 31, 2013 by ubu507

xx092

Setting all her motions aside
There are a couple of complexities
To mediate
Undermining our downcast Madonna
Oh yeah that’s right that’s right
Our whole conversation
Started a tail feather message
Of Glamour Allure Charisma
But just when we reached
The moment of truth
I mean it’s like
Very messed up
Cultivating an attitude
Of Devotion
Grasping it forcefully
And pumping it like
A firm business handshake
— Yours to discover

Beholding in many souls the traits of the divine beauty, and separating in each soul that which is divine from the taint which it has contracted in the world, the lover ascends to the highest beauty, to the love and knowledge of the Divinity, by steps on this ladder of created souls.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Love.”
