Poem: 'UNLOCKING HER EIGHT-HUNDREDTH LIFE



UNLOCKING HER 
EIGHT-HUNDREDTH LIFE 


death whispers along the shoreline
so close you can reach out and touch it,
old Mother Carey lives in a shingled house
on a strand of rocks that points into the tide,
children say she is older than time
children say she is more ancient than sky,
she sits in a wicker chair on the wet stones
that glisten with the wash of kelp and crabs,
she feeds the silver fish orange pips, plum stones,
pomegranate seeds, tomato and apple seeds,
then waits and watches along the shoreline
as they bloom into bright green shoots of orange
and plum, pomegranate, tomato and apples,
death whispers along the shoreline
so close she can reach out and touch it,
old Mother Carey sits on the strand of wet stones
she eats orange pips, plum stones, tomato,
pomegranate and apple seeds,
feels them germinate inside her,
and then she waits…

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
