Hearts

The simplicity of two hearts,
Both close and wide apart,
Struggles to breaks free from the intricacies of the mind
And freely float out of chronological time.

To reach the temple of love,
My Self guided me to you,
I left my other self behind,
And found instead a Me and You.

You quietly turned inwardly,
And back you came with honesty;
You taught me love can be as strong,
As you and I can make it be.

You led me kindly with your eyes,
To waters running deep.
I followed gently.
You met me in a kiss.

Our kiss could tell
That love was real
With beating of the hearts,
That whispered to each other.

You taught me feelings of joy
I never knew existed,
And stayed with me in times of pain,
Quiet and calm and still.

You showed me you were there with me
When even in the midst of passion,
You argued, loved and hated me,
Lifting me up, putting me down...
The soul of living hearts indeed!

Thank you for laughing here with me
Frowning and being mad,
Crying and getting angry,
Smiling and being happy.

And now, at the end of everything I shared...
That something special about you
Yet once more could not be put into words.
But know that I know it,
And that I love it,
Each day, more and more.

Destiny

I loved you too strong
In too short a time
And had to let you go.
I suffered in silence
At the thought of losing you completely.

There are things one needs to learn
And things one needs to unlearn.
You gave me peace and tenderness,
I shattered your temple instead.

I had a dagger in my heart
For about a day or two;
Too much caffeine, obviously,
And talking without thinking,
And feeling without talking.

Gazing in and mystifying our souls
In the fire of life,
We briefly warmed each other's hearts,
In an attempt to bridge two inseparable worlds.

Oneness

Oneness

The path was laden with truths

I had arrived at light eons before

Yet which were hidden just beneath the surface

Of an ever-transforming consciousness.

The vast sea was serene,

Nakedness surrounding the different shades

Of a luminous sky

Which stood still.

The stillness, in turn, surrounded my soul,

And feasted on emptiness;

A void filled with sacredness

In a body of love.

Pregnant with humanity,

Through the portal of space and of time,

The gods were delivering me

Into the field of the unspoken,

Unknowingly breathing the love of Creation.

I started gazing into the eyes of another,

Hoping to discover my divine essence;

My divine essence smiled back at me,

Then turned me toward the gooeyness of existence.

Your eyes contained your pain,

Your fears and your hopes,

And your energy was touched by the sparkle of solitude.

My eyes contained your pain.

Your eyes contained my pain,

My fears and my hopes,

And in the energy between us

Our senses opened for togetherness.
