Us Is Now

I found my one and only key
I’ve kept it buried, well hidden
I wasn’t sure it still worked
Afraid of being one twice bitten
Your abracadabra bade me hand it over
Your words are spells your eyes, religion
Towards you is no decision
I shrink when I think that you’ve misplaced it
It’s the only one like it
and I’ll never replace it.

Secret moments stolen in despair
Sacred presence together shared
A fading memory of skin on skin,
I’m nearly sleeping
Inhaling through her golden hair
The world is looming,
I’m nearly weeping
Feels too small to hold US,
All consuming
Every day there’s less to breathe
Running out of air,
I feel it looming
Waking up I surrender to the cycle
A knowing look, a stolen touch, a pregnant smile
I close my eyes and see tomorrow
Shoulders touching we move together
A nightmare only, was the sorrow.
Arms outstretched praying I’ll reach her
Waiting, asking for patience
Love I beg you, please fuck please, be a gentle teacher

Beneath the stars’ eternal shine,
Two full hearts whispered,
Bound,
Designed.
A love to cross the sands of time.
Us always is our battle cry
From twilight’s kiss to breaking dawn,
We touch and talk, we live, we die
A tale of love, forever sworn.

Twin souls entwined
Shadows cast
The dance of stars
Darkness vast
Far too far but close to mind
Hearts in sync
And worlds apart
A wild ride to truth we dare
Through angry seas a maze to start
Through violent storms of winter air
We walks towards spring
We walk towards light
Without fail, without worry, each and every day
The awoken sun… It shatters night

I whisper forever to the winds of fate
Compelled to wait, I wake and wonder
Who is this woman…
And how’s she made from thunder.

In crowded rooms we’re islands of fire.
Hearts alight, consuming pyre, each day we fight
A love so fierce, a dragon in blue, a dragon in white

Present, Peace, Love, Sleep
Rest your head, gentle, ease
I’m awake, talking still
You just rest, I wish you will
Close your eyes, arms around
Resting, steady, my heart is pounding
Bursting in stillness
Loving in secret
Infinite willingness
Praying to keep it

IF I let go, dare to loosen my grip
We’ll sure turn to dust, like snow on my tongue, like rain on my lips
Alone, Stoned, immaculate
Squeeze hard, hold, get back to it
Is surrender the contender as the defender of loss
Or is control the guard, untold
On the journey to save my soul
In sorrow, I’m hollow
No need for tomorrow
So tired of gripping, I’m slipping
So tired, falling asleep
God, I need peace, just need a break
Tell me love, you’ll be there, when I awake.

Far out at sea
I see the shore
Sure it’s far
Not too far to see

Resist
Persist
Tune in
Let go
Don’t tip your hand
Don’t take a stand
Don’t show your cards
Just play the part
Not yet
Don’t let
Them see inside
Stay still
By will
Don’t run
Just hide
Patience
Is latent
I’m Marked for life
No going, now
Back to unknowing how
The struggle and strife
I’ve seen the light
It’s worth the fight
I read and I rest
Ready to test
The iron inside
Time to unhide
To truth
To light
To hope
I walk
There is one path
That’s worth the tears
The well worn road
beyond the fears
In one direction
Enough distraction
I push and shove
Closer closer
I can taste you my love

I open my eyes
and realize,
that forever and ever
we’ve come together
with nothing but our naked selves,
to cast a magic spell
and create a new container,
That brilliant cosmic painter,
for a droplet of spirit to dance in,
in this infinite cycle of birth and transformation.
What a day, to realize I’m a spark cast off of infinite spirit that is the source of all that is.
