divine love perfected

[Guest guest]

white wolfe sends apologies to the Beloved....this poem was not quite

as done as it wanted to be and the revisions truly improve its poetic

sublte depths and meaning.....and since many of you know CD i have

included a proper tribute to her....^^~~~~

 

further up and further in,

higher divine love

(for christiana)

 

“…they call you redeemer of outcasts…”

-Mirabai

 

take my clean hands,

beloved dark one,

as you promised.

let us both stand

facing eyes to eyes,

inside and outside

of time and space,

the true redemptress

of a shipwrecked soul.

i have been caught

in a wanton riptide

of endless awaiting

battering the rocks.

now, my dark one,

you reveal yourself

ageless and perfect,

freeing this seafarer

from his lost drifting.

sweet, dark, miramar,

i sit naked on the sand

caressing your bare feet

singing of my redemption.

 

Now,

nothing less

than love’s honor is at stake,

for your poet sings to you, beloved, of ever higher divine love!
