Schemes and Dreams

So many nights I would dream,

so many nights I would scheme,

only to try to believe

that I would know you

and free that part of me imprisoned,

apart from you.

Into the Universe I would send my 

prayers and every day I would wait

for them to come to me;

then one day, the scheme stopped 

being a dream and I found you

and like a pebble into a lake, 

the ripples carried outward,

brought me to your shores.

Like a shipwrecked sailor, 

I kissed your beach, the schemes 

and dreams long gone for the reality

of you loving me. 

You, at my core, my home port. 

My lee in the storms, 

the shelter in my heart. 

There is a light that shines 

around me that is your love.

She Loves Me

She loves me, and it is a light in times of self-doubt,

and I hold onto that light with all the strength I have,

that I can know that I am loved.

And know that I love you back,

and I have missed you in my absence.

She loves me, and we've loved each other from afar 

through it all, as we waited...

the waiting will end soon,

and for that I can't wait.

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.
