Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 i have a confession (a duet) “I never touched his imperishable secret.” -Mirabai yogini, i have a confession last night i did not touch your intimate secret with proper reverence entering your dark cave touching your mystery as a sterile leper beads of sweat on my brow my spirit as dry ash i reached for your rapture failure is easier to overcome than rejection... mirabai, but no, i did not reach your eternal secret darkness ran down my cheeks the sweet shame of failure to thirst but not to taste the honeydew of your rose was the rich banquet not allowed this poor beggar who comes darkly each night to sit at your white feet failure encourages the spirit with hope... beloved, i have a confession to make tonight, once more, still a sinner i will seek you in the darkness obtaining not what i desire accepting what i can receive rejection numbs the spirit with hopelessness... beloved, oh my beloved where you are bittersweet success i am sweetly bitter failure to the world, i am a sinner as a sinner i come to you is the confession i make mirabai is the shepherd of all spirits... yogini, i have a profession to make to the moon and stars, i am yours as i am, i am yours alone embracing all no one fails... mark christopher valentine valentine (october 19, 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
