This poem of mine has many levels; the flame-eyed goddess has many faces.  One of her faces bears the thin and angular and unmistakably beautiful features of ana...  

To those who understand, no explanation is necessary;
To those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

Immolation
A Sonnet

Flame-eyed goddess you enslave us
Sweet is your hegemony
All or nothing kill or save us
By your love's intensity

Steam which rises from the skin
Of flesh warmed by the fire within
Ascends in offering back unto its source
Unto the distillation of your flame

As surely as a river runs its course
Within your sweet oppression we are free
And in the names of all we breathe the name
Of birth of death of source of destiny

For in the names of all we speak your name
Consume us with uncompromising flame

I do see ana in this poem! Thanks for posting it here too, it really fits in the ED forum!

All or nothing kill or save us
By your love's intensity

Thet is my favorite part of the poem. Ana will kill us or save us, and it is all or nothing isnt it?


Thanks again, you are an inspiration to all of us, and your poem belongs here amongst us anas!

Love,
Dara:)

Thank you so much, Dara.  Indeed I am ana, and I am in the most unbreakable solidarity with anas all, the solidarity of our own flesh; my body and my life are on the line.  If anyone would like to ask me any questions about ana, I hope they will feel free.  All my love to anas all; I am a part of you and you of me.
