Seeing

so long ago when first we met
and yet u have always
been as immediate to me
as my own soul
ur presence streams over/thru me
always

reveal urself, u are too familiar
to hide behind my intuition
and extra-senses,
appear!

and yet u do, everywhere
i know it,
not limited by separated ‘bodies’
u are everything yet no-thing
in particular

how i long to embrace u,
once in my arms i dare not let u go
not even to eat, drink or sleep
i would gladly die enraptured
in ur embrace though
dying in ur embrace is to live forever
with you, in you

be kind, appear in comely form
ur true appearance is too awesome for
any entity to behold and remain intact

yes, i know better, but mortal habits
incline me to the illusion of forms
tho the veil has been rent
and once removed, always removed

who,
which mortal or temporal circumstance
is able to trouble my soul?
none.
you fortify those you love
and shield them from all tribulation
though the body is subject to the laws
of the earth but body i am no longer
not even soul in ur embrace

sweet is the elixir u offer
and transformative is the music
that pulses from ur Being
which permeates/creates everything --
no language is able to describe this motion

my tender, awesome, lover
i am yours always
