Her

I try to feel her in my heart.
She's so beautiful, so lovely, 
and so selfish like me.

How are we to sharpen each other
without reaching the ends of our lengths?
Can we love the way wild horses 
gallop the edges of faith.

It was all created for relationship,
to allow the living waters of life
to flow between us.

How can I stand between her longing
and it's fulfillment and inspire action?

The love I seek is more than passion, 
though fire quickens, yet leaves me 
empty and unsustained in its ashes.  

I want to walk in the primal mists of a deeper love
that connects hearts and churns souls.  

I want the fierce heat of her heart to consume me, 
to melt me and change me into someone 
I've never imagined I could be!  

I want to laugh with her in the breathing,
warm-covered hours of the night,
two vessels of life united in mysterious bliss.

The wind blows, breezing over the crevasses 
of her smooth skin as feminine arcs gleam all over her body.
Her radiant eyes beam, blasting my soul into
sacred orbit over a strange, exciting world I need to explore.

And when she turns away and fades again my heart sinks.
If I open and love her, I will die each moment,
each twitch of time's steady reign.  
Can I utterly love her essence, who she really is?
Can I totally surrender and stand in the gap?
Even though I'm afraid?  

I know this human heart will not suffice.
I'll grow weary and want to run and
hide in imaginary corridors,
returning to my aloneness.
Must I end up staring into tear-stricken eyes
and feel my heart ache from another failure?

Oh love, just embrace me!
Enter my spiraling life and press me
into your fiery center each morning,
like the dark moon joining with the sun,
more fully connected, more fully alive,
lovers lost in a strange wood sustained
by hope for silence out of which the whispering
voice of eternity restores us, binds us, brings us together at last.

It is you strange woman lurking on the horizon 
who I will share that core descent,
that paradox of being that forces us to
seek love for our love from the source of love.

 

Love is such a strange and powerful force.  

The universe will show me the way...!

When you're an Aquarian it's very hard for others to understand your allegiance to humanity as your family and no one in particular.  People infused with the Prometheus archetype are here to think in ways that are not taught to think.  We're here to revolutionize, innovate, and invent new ways of doing community.  This doesn't help in our personal relationships, especially when people have concerns and you just stare off into space listening for the next cosmic download through the music of the spheres!  It's a blessing and a curse.  Us Aquarians (or people with strong Uranus) don't mean to be indifferent and radical.  We simply have to.  It's the way we're wired.  We see things from the point of view of the future.  That's why we're often referred to as space cases!  But to be complete we need the wonderful royal and radiant energy of Leo in our lives.  Only in Leo's creative fire can our hearts be warmed.  Then we can come down from the thunderous mountain top of visions to merge with humanity at last and live and love deeply.
