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.
