Esoteric love poetry - Matangi my love

Here is the second of my original love song poetry ballads for my new album. I don't have any melody yet, but it's a ballad that can be sung.

I aim to write 20 poems like this. Ten will be under the theme songs of separation, and ten will be songs of union, like this one today.

I call it Matangi my love. That's one of the many names of the goddess, found in the ancient Sanskrit wisdom texts of India.

It alludes to the overall theme of divine love, hinting at an understanding of true love being internal, spiritual or divine. Instead of projecting our love onto a human, if tells the ancient tale of the mystic yogi's meditation on the anima, as Jung called it, of the goddess within, as the Sufi mystics or bhaktas or shaktas might describe it.

Poetry is easy to write. It simply requires a story to tell, in the most succinct wording. I like to use traditional classic rhyming couplets and a fairly rigid meter. This allows the poem to be sung more easily.

Poetry is an old art, not found much any more it seems. Song writers of course might still compose lyrics, though much modern music is purely instrumental and electronic.

Nevertheless, this is my preferred style of art, and the subject matter is most far to my heart. Esoteric love songs that are rich in symbolism, revealing esoteric truths or mysteries of consciousness for those who know the symbolism and references.

Now I just need to cultivate the melody composition, and then it will be a whole brain creation, with both hemispheres being creative.

I could be wrong, but this one love, the anima, is both male and female, is transcendent. And so it could take either gender, with many memes and identities. Therfore I equate it as Mercury, who is also Matangi.

Matangi my love

Do you really wish to know
Just how it feels
To be lifted up high
By the wings on your heels
To be flying so high
On the wings of a dove
To be floating in air
To be falling in love

Well I'll tell you the truth
Love is not what it seems
It's not her that you love
It's the girl of your dreams
She just happens to be
Around at the time
To accept your projection
At the scene if the crime

For I'll tell you my son
As i sing you this song
Seperation is one big
Illusion gone wrong
'Cos the girl of your dreams
Is with you all the time
And real love is for her
A love truly sublime

She will whisper to you
Into your inner ear
All the mysteries untold
Tales that you'll love to hear
Songs that you'll hear of love
Rained from heaven above
Cooling your fevered brow
She's the true sacred cow

There's no woman alive
Who can ever take her place
For her love can uplift
The entire human race
Her love's always with you
If you just lend an ear
She reveals every truth
Songs so old yet so clear

So look in and you'll see
The Divine mystery
Of your true highest love
The divine Matangi
She is yours, you are her's
It is all divine play
Just accept her embrace
And let her guide your way
