CuCuhulain's Last Thoughts
by Fraoch
[WVox Sponsor]
Age Group: Adult
If I would have just kissed you
That afternoon
When you showed up
In that green dress
A red headed dream
Just outside the lines
I wouldn’t be here today
Aching in death
And agony
Wishing that I had just
Just kissed you
A glass of water
To a parched throat
Honeyed wine
Rye whiskey for the blues
If I had just kissed you
Let your lips
Fall onto mine
Like ripe berries
In summer afternoons
By rivers where we could swim
And get away from all of this
I could take you away
From all of this
You wouldn’t have to see
This
This mess these guys
Had made of your days
If I had kissed you
The ravens would have
Settled in blossomed trees
Relaxed and cawing softly
To themselves
Filled up on sun light
That day
I wish that I had kissed you
Not for power or fame
But because you
You, my Goddess
You are all that is
And will ever be
And I wanted you to know
That I should have
And I did want to
Just kiss you
And kiss you forever
Until you let the stars
Just fall around us
Like white apple blossoms
Author's Notes: This poem is about CuCuhulain thinking back to when The Morrighan offered Her love to him. He's thinking, "Damn, you know, I really wanted to. I really did, but I thought, not in front of all my mates. If I would have said 'Yeah babe, ' and them not know who She was, they would've have given me hell. I thought She'd understand that."
What he didn't realize was that he was part of a metaphor for all men. He was a prototype, because She knew it was coming. She knew that men were getting ready to get their jockies in a wad about women having so much power. Thus She said, "I will see a world that is not dear to me."
So CuCuhulain is thinking back to how great it would have been to be in love with The Goddess and not with himself. He's got that typical bedside conversion thing going on as Badb is getting ready to perch on his shoulder. He hears Her coming and realizes that Her final kiss is... well...final, and when He sees Her again, he's going to have to deal with the fact that kissing Her this time isn't going to be the same.
He's going to kiss Her as the All, and instead of a kiss that he can hold in his heart for a lifetime, this is a kiss of transformation from life to death back to life. It's true his soul will hold that kiss, but it's not the same. He's going to be pushed out of another uterus, and he won't be able to remember exactly that particular kiss of The Morrighan.
