The dance of the devi
Flowers for the goddess 
in my alta-dyed hands,
I offer them at the lotus feet
of the Mother of the Universe.
***
Gentle blues of the skies move out 
And Surya slowly rises from slumber
in its captivating regal glory,
its golden rays adorning
the Devi’s forehead.
***
I behold the golden complexioned goddess
set in stone with a benevolent smile.
My anklets lay at her feet
with turmeric and vermillion coating
some of those melodious bells.
***
A sweet summer breeze blows by.
A bell jingles and a lotus from her garland
falls to the brown earth at my dust laden feet.
A jingle of bangles and anklets,
A low hum of a mysterious yet beautiful tune,
And a voice sings,
A voice that I can recognize anywhere –
The Devi has risen!
***
Draped in silks and gold,
fragrant garlands around her limbs,
She steps outside to my courtyard,
A very humble stage for the one
who is the abode of this entire Universe.
The sun makes her ornaments gleam, 
yet her moon-like face is the brightest.
My anklets are around her feet
But what truly do I own 
in this illusionary world?
What I receive –
Beauty, intelligence, riches and power,
All comes from her.
***
And by the bright yellows of dawn
I see her dance in my courtyard.
Wherever her feet travel, little blooms arise
and where her hands softly touch,
Golden dust flies.
She twirls round and round
And I see the might cosmic Gods
Swirling around her magnificence.
Her veil, the illusionary veil,
which she playfully casts 
around this world
escapes the clutches 
of her beautiful braided hair.
And now I see. Clearly.
***
She leaps into the air,
Resembling a warrior
and a warrior she is,
for she is the Devi,
The ferocious Bhairavi,
The invincible Durga,
the slayer of Mahishasura.
She is the dark one, Kali,
The slayer of Raktabija.
***
Her dance of grace and elegance
transforms to a dance of death and destruction.
She is Shivatrinayani and Maheshwari.
She leaps and twirls with her trident
and her anklets and the temple bells ring 
harmoniously,
Just like the eternal forces of nature.
Devi is Nitya, the eternal one.
***
I, a mere mortal woman, a devotee
akin to the turmeric and vermillion on her feet
watch the goddess dance in all her glory.
I see all the worlds and this vast universe 
dance with her,
And maybe it is really true:
That everything in the world dances.
Laasya performs in every object,
in the largest to the very smallest.
***
And then I see the radiant one
stretch her palm to me.
I see my world in her hand
And clasp her hand tightly.
Which daughter lets go of her mother’s hand?
So we dance.
***
Stars and galaxies, planets and cosmic bodies,
Fire and snow, gods, demons and mortals,
I see her in everything
And this is the Dance of Realisation.
The music, the drums and the bells slowly fade 
But the dancing soul now awakened
dances in ecstasy.
I see, I hear, I dance, I understand everything now.
***
The Devi twirls, spins, sings, smiles and laughs
And finally heads to her abode, to Shiva, her life.
My life, a thread in her hands,
I now submit to her eternal play 
of this Life’s Dance.
***
I haven't written poetry in a while now. Somehow I couldn't capture this in a story format, it felt bland and very large and long. I didn't like it. The poem format perhaps gives me a little peace to form the vision I once had a few years ago while meditating on the goddess. I will obviously edit this later for the book, but for now here's the first draft poem for the book

tw: body dysmorphia?
okay tumblr do your thing and help me.
my facial features and body are very feminine which i dont mind. but i believe my personality is very tomboyish and it has what one might call "masculine energy". i dont mind dressing feminine, but i want to dress masc because i dont really feel like dressing feminine anymore. i want to learn how to dress masculine but i am afraid it would still appear feminine on my body and i am not tall enough (is 5'4 tall enough?) to actually be masc, is what i think. my sister and my mom always tell me that my body is beautiful which i believe it is, but i think they always say it with the context that it is feminine. i know they like it because they like being feminine and while i dont hate it, i dont like it either and id rather dress masculine but i have no idea what to do because my sister always tells me that body hugging dresses look good on me, and she is right but i dont like it. i like loose fitting clothes and i love my body but i wish it was a little more masculine.
how do i appear more masculine in terms of clothing and style? the mascs butches and studs of tumblr please help me
