Because You Love Me

Clouds lifting, seas parting, mountains laying low,

paths made straight...

all because you love me.

I cherish you and our time together,

it doesn't even matter to me how now, 

as long as I get to be with you. 

The things in my life that were askew

have begun to align for me, mysteries solved,

parts incomplete being made whole, 

all these things coming together to produce

a calm that covers me in my soul, bringing peace;

all because you love me.

And so we walk on, together; my stride confident,

my purpose clear, I must get to you soon, because

I don't want to wait, not another moment.

Too many moments have passed already...

I am coming home, because you love me, and

I love you.

 

So Close Now

Not asleep yet, but thinking about you....

so, start your day with this: I love you...

Know that I long to feel you next to me,

your hand in my hand, fingers entwined,

the way it should be, just before we embrace.

My arms around you, the small of your back 

and across your shoulders, I will gently 

pull you to me and squeeze you forever

in the Now. My Tao sending me to the Way,

the Way moving like water,

never to touch the same water twice, 

but ripples expanding outward...

and I love you...and it is Now 

that we have to accomplish our missions,

you in me, and me in you, and I think

I'll let it be, as it grows naturally, 

expanding outward into the reaches of love and space 

and the mystery of creation...it is warm and comforting;

so close now....

Destiny

You are my destiny, my destination

in a quest that has lasted my whole life...

Yet I still long to hold you now,

even if it will be soon, 

it can't be soon enough.

My destiny in a cosmic braid with yours,

united, transcended, and ascending.

Destiny rising, meeting you in the perfect time 

of our lives for the best time of our lives

where we can share and love freely,

and so we will, it is our destiny;

time falling away in crumbles as the ages pass,

we continue ever on immortal, eternal, 

higher and higher, deeper and deeper,

dancing together to celebrate our reunion,

our victory over the evil that befell us 

and sought to devour us, but...

our survival to get to each other after all things

came and left, (and sometimes fell apart);

all the while hoping and waiting 

as I made our fate to get to the destiny...

travelling, rising ever upwards and into 

the everything.

Connection

We finish sentences, we think alike,

we have the same time conditioned fears

about each other...for instance

that we would never see one another

in this life. And so it would be, except

there is this connection, 

which turned into a drive, that dreams 

were not enough for us, so we fought

together from the opposite angles,

her on the inside and me outside;

all the while, working the circles

to finding us, whatever that would be...

You drew me out, and kept me coming,

I kept fighting to find you,

dead ends and circles be damned.

So, eventually, I searched for you 

with what you gave me 

to find my way home; 

and I followed my blood to you,

our DNA, my roadmap to you,

my greatest hope in the face 

of the years of failure, confusion 

and frustration...

But I was driven by this connection,

my thoughts and feelings focused 

on the mystery of my origen 

and I took all the pieces I had gathered

and after all this time, was finally able 

to make a picture that led me to you.

So, as I always have, I trust this connection,

because it is something I have relied on 

and it has not failed me, to the contrary,

it led me here to you, and I found you 

happily waiting after all this time...

the connection strengthened for the testing.

The pieces put together and the picture is us.

Goddess and Child

Like Aphrodite and Eros

we are entwined...

Like Athena and Apollo,

we are divinely connected...

the star child and his mother.

We are mythological, legendary,

we are eternally the goddess 

and the hero on his quest to find her.

Archetypes, and experiences

we survived, the chaos of adventures

to find each other again.

And now, only our love remains

as the uncertainty faded away 

in the light from the sun...

our connection strengthened,

our wisdom multiplied,

our truth celebrated.

Panic at the Disco

Panic at the disco when 

I can't get to you soon enough

for me, I get anxious...but I'm ok,

I know everything's alright and

I know everything's okay, and

I just want to hear your voice

anyway, even if we aren't 

saying anything, it's something

to me...I just miss you after all this time,

and I know you'll still be there in the morning,

I know you're not going anywhere,

but sometimes I think until I can touch you,

it just won't stop nagging at me 

that this could all be a dream,

like a cocaine snowstorm, a haze and

sometimes a numbness.

Less than a thousand miles to go now...

How can it be real? 

So, panic at the disco, sometimes,

until I can get to you and hold you

and then know it's real because 

I've finally come home.

All We Have is Now

Seek me, and then find me

she said in a dream...

I am so glad I found you,

I said to her face.

I was hugging my pillow

last night as I thought about you...

so close, yet still so far,

but not for much longer

as fear and desire met

and desire victorious, now 

we celebrate.

Seek me, and then find me,

were the words that would echo

in my heart and mind, 

I fought hard to find you

in our game of hide and seek,

my homesickness guiding me 

home to you as time ticked away...

I hold you and touch your face,

never having felt so complete

in all of this life until now, 

delineated and jumping through time,

now is all we have 

and I'm grateful for it.
