To Dance With Love

[Guest guest]

To Dance With

Love

 

 

Part I ~~ Memory

 

we were Lovers once

we met in erotic

hollows in our pores

we were hungry then,

knelt in each other's presence

and ate the last

skin of separation

the truth ~~

that was not our only truth,

ascending,

we were Eastern and Western Dragons

that Day

and fragile butterfly wings that

steely Night,

descending

I came to you

empty-handed and

you severed me with your

Sword of Duality

when our Poet words no longer fit

in the empty sky of our Soul's

nothingness,

we fell

obliging

temptation

and here we ended

in One-noOne

....and I'm dancing as fast as I can

into an alternate reality

that questions not

why we found Words

and Silences

and how Love begins

and seems to end

.... Formless

.... Dreamless

.... Hopelessly in Love

.... In our Lover's Heart

 

 

 

Part 2 ~~ Creation

 

 

I shall create Love

today

give it Your eyes to see with

like an eagle

as he drifts in the speechless wind,

soaring,

falling.

 

I shall call You

an Unknown God

and You will rest in meditation

a lotus of 10000 petals

in the heart of Krishna

in the body of

Shiva and Shakti

eternal dancers

of our One Soul

 

I shall call forth Your Being

from the silence of the cosmos

and we shall touch one another

in the depths of our merging

knowing secrets

spilling

creation

 

We shall be Lovers before this day

is done...

 

We have been kissed by grace.

 

 

 

Part 3 ~~ Being, This Moment This Time This Place

 

 

We have come together now,

This moment

This empty space of awareness,

We are shaped, fashioned from the distance of tentacles,

or 10 million arms and legs,

Intertwined,

Far reaching

The sound of hollow reeds,

These testaments and reverberation of words,

Like saffron curtains,

Fit the night-filled jasmine,

The Tibetan gong;

 

We fall into one another's Being

we slide like the four-leafed clover taste of honey and

We dare to leap like wild horses, free as Pegasus

In the canyons of the sky,

Breathless on Arunachala,

In the residual tears of the ocean as

The waves lift us to the

Arms of the Beloved,

One kiss

One shore.
