On a windy afternoon ...
Outside the words ring true
inside
they're like
dry leaves
the wind blows me
to you
each moment
A great sea
existence
we approach
inhale
drink
become immortal
for a moment
when I love you
I am
of that sea
becoming
the universe
peace
we love
whole
kiss the sea
the universe
we are
together
my love cracks
poetic lustful syntax
into smithereens
while I wait
and feel your presence
coming
you are divine
dear one
You are my freedom
and my devotion
and my respect
and my love
When the dark moon shines
when the lake is empty
life will go on
You will suffer your doubts
We will suffer together and,
if we're lucky,
hold each other
forever
