No, I wouldn't


In the turning phases of the moon
Your warmth and coolness
ebb and flow

distractions that
burn and freeze
my soul

footprints
that disappear
when I get close enough
to touch your
fantasies

Did you ever think
I'd abandon
you 
for the 
fickle feelings
that 
pervade 
the invisible trails
we have walked
a million years?

The Universe will explode


When you and I
finally meet
it will be
no surprise
to the Universe

but that won't mean
that She will not
explode 
with infinite 
joy

And all the 
fragile strands
of connection
that She has
magically woven
into the
flowering of our love
will hold us
in lifetimes of
rapture


Footnote

I created this digital picture last night and found the words for it this morning.  Both reflect the beliefs and expectations I have of a *new* relationship :)

The Quiet Voice


See those shadows on the ground?
Consider then 
The Quiet Voice

She speaks to you
even when 
you're not 

listening

She can't help herself
and doesn't try to
for she is 
Truth
stripped naked
disarmingly so

Your faithful servant
and unyielding master

Don't try to deny her
Ignore her
suppress her

Such actions 
leave you disturbed
unsettled

a cauldron of
rumbling
grumbling
sneering
howling
bleating
menacing 
irksome
emotons
and
thoughts

But when you heed 
The Quiet Voice
and submit

without knowing 

how or when or what or where
yet certain and reassured that
she is 

life itself

without whom 
you cannot exist

Why, she summons
the entire force of 
the Universe
to assemble at your feet
ready to 
fashion all things
as you please!

Don't blink. Don't Think.


Pay attention to me!
Can't you see
what I'm doing?

It's not as easy as you think
so watch ME
not 
him

even though
my eyes
follow his every movement
tight as a hawk
ready to pounce
and shred
at the slightest
hint

of a mis-step
an error of judgment
a wavering perception
a momentary doubt

Ah, never underestimate
the singular dedication 
of my 
preying eyes

Not for the briefest 
moment
a nanosecond of time!

In short
Don't blink.
Don't think.
