Yes My Love.

Yes My Love

I have a memory of You.

Yet it is only a painting

that fades like the twilight in this world.

You say: Don’t rely on any memory

come live with me now...

I say: I keep writing poems

hoping to turn Your face to me.

You say: Turn your heart into my Heart...

I keep asking: Why did you push me out of Nothing

to be this ‘me’ thing, my Love?

You say: For My Love. Only for My Love.

I bow my head and eat grass

and fill the earth with tears and joy both.

Ripping this self to shreds with want.

You simply remain unmoved by my skillful inventiveness.

You say: Make Me True.

I say: I want to die, I want to live...

You say: Be only My lover.

Be my child and My Love returning to Me.

I made you Be,

so that you could look again into my face

and know You are Mine.

I say: What is this earth and sky my Love?

What are the mountains and the moons

and the myriad turning orbs of existence?

You say: Just my petticoats.

Lift up your eyes into My womb

and birth a new territory of my reality.

Go deeper to rise higher.

Speak like one of my angels

who are just your servants I have sent to guide you.

Then speak from my mouth

like a ripe sun fruit I have grown on my branch.

Speak with my tongue

the tongue you love so much to kiss.

Turn your kisses into Mine and say yourself in Me...

I say: It is a hard road my Love.

It is a trackless way you have sent me upon.

There are traps in the unseen, there are traps in the seen...

You say: Everything and every way is My trap.

I have set a trap in you that you cannot escape from.

When you fly away, you come near to Me.

When you long for escape you pray to be caught.

When you tremble to be touched

I am also am trembled by your touch.

When you call I am the answer.

When you answer I am the call.

Nothing gets to Be, unless you do it for Me.

Did I not teach you how to ride a donkey,

then ride a bicycle,

and then drive a car, and then fly?

Think how far I can make you ride me!

I have done this out of my love for journeys.

An exploration of My Self...

I say: Thy will be done.

You say: Yes My Love.
