O, Lydia!

Poet “El Cortés”
in courtship with “El Otro.”
Latina tango!

The tango of life
in search of knowing one’s Self;
the Self of psyche.

The Self of wholeness.
The Self of our completion;
of our body and our soul.

Body and one’s soul,
striving to find union;
dancing together.

A self-searching dance
of the body and the soul;
coming together.

Coming together,
in dance of exploration;
to discover Self.

A declaration,
like voice of an oracle;
reaching out to all.

“Poet, know thyself!”
That is a poet’s calling.
Self-exploration.

That is the appeal
that poets have for others;
to explore the Self.

It comes by writing;
the art of self-mirroring;
as self-reflection.

Poetry is search.
Poetry is therapy;
for the human soul.

The search for healing
of the body and spirit;
to come together.

So we delve within.
It is a chthonic search;
exploring psyche.

It is a tango.
A dance with one’s own psyche;
to find union.
