CROWN OF LIFE - A POEM BY IRIS CALIF

My body is carried as heaven worlds, 

kneels his spirit in front of the Wings of the land of death, 

the land of living and the land of love

And I am the human flower 

Iris draping my tears in the stone of death 

in Front of the living Grace Mountain of my purified broken soul 

that blowing Her Breaths in my Piot mysteries prayer of my dreaming Iris soul to the Living

The flower Iris a universe,

A girl, a woman, kneeling to wings of life, to my body

Death of lovers, Anorexia;

The kingdom of the life and death personification:

You the Anorexia

My spiritual soul friend grasping me,

And breathing me with infinity: Death

My soul, foe my escape from my destruction,

My flogging, my Awe

My dismantle of my faith, my trust my security, my purification

From rain instinct, of my own self, and from human Inclination.

I ask and look at my soul, my grief, my fear, my destruction,

Yet yearning to strength, of feminine power, a pour loving and longing of A girl,

Woman for life within her, a body healthy and sound,

To close my green living eyes, with rain, thunder in the lighting moon,

And the sun of the worlds. my body breathes deeply in my weeping Years.

And in my weeping years, I am dreaming the crown of life

The living dancing vitality that grows and sinks In my body and soul,

And me, the human Iris flower of the creation standing out healthy

Covering my spirit soul of my naked body to the

Crown of life
