Los Ojos De Oya
Her eyes see everything
Both in this world and in the worlds beyond
She fears no man, nor death
Her love is a force; once known never to be forgotten
She is swift, sensual, soft and ever elusive
Yet she can be fierce, savage and unpredictable when angered
She needs no sword for her allies are everywhere
She is the keeper of the cemetery-the caster of spells
The very breath of life: she is the wind that can calm or destroy upon command
She will dance upon the grave of the unjust
Laughing in the face of death
Deep in the night, I wake to feel your breath
On my skin, slowly wandering in
I am awake to you, Forever more
I hear you licking the palms, as they dance in delight
Inviting me to Journey with your sight..
We have danced a million dances
Traveled like dust aross a million skies
Touched the untouchables, made allies out of those others would cast aside and fear
We have risen through the portals of death, and danced from beneath the grave
Making sanctuary out of cemetery
To bring heaven into form again
You have lent me your eyes, and taught me to see
You call me home again and again and again
Inviting me to ride with you between the worlds
Like the dancing palms, I am captive to your desires
Always willing to ride with you
To fly with you
To rage and sing and die into you
The Eyes of Oya
My vision
My love
My Life
My Eternal Ally
For this world and beyond
I am yours
Forever more.
