Imbroglio...

Every part of knowing that every section of the preparation is in an effort to make one thing into something more.

This is just real life...

The other day, just passed
That moment you looked at me
You hadn't the need to say
I could see you believed it

Moments: Not Saying Goodbye, But Saying Hello...

I had waited months for that one embrace and it contained all the shared moments, the hopes, the dreams, the struggles.

Although the wait wasn't as long, the satisfaction of that initial embrace we shared was immense. Reaquinting myself with her scent, my eyes feasting, my arms reaching around her; feeling her fit me again - this was the moment.

Q & A One...

What’s he like?

He is a mathematician, poet, writer, artist, musician. A composite of things that aren’t supposed to go together... multifaceted.

What do you like about her?

Her beauty, intelligence, she is good fun – I enjoy all the time I spend with her, she cares and understands me.

Moments: The Time Has Come (Continued)...

As I travel to her. Thinking how our progression along our path will continue. We remain in awe of how it is we managed to build and maintain a bond of such unrelenting strength; an amazing, unique, wonderful, beautiful link.

No matter how long they last, you feel the moments gone too soon...

Our impetus: Travelling, moving toward, making some more special memories, bringing dreams to life - sharing other little things, it all starts again. Our moments to be made.

The chorus of ordinary things being extraordinary, with the one most extraordinary. Encore...

He Makes Her His Queen

I told him, 'I am only a little rose or autumn crocus of the plain of Sharon, or a humble lily of the valleys that grows in deep and difficult places.'

But he replied, 'Like the lily among thorns, so are you, my love, among the daughters. '

'Like an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons!' I cried. 'Under his shadow I delight to sit, and his fruit is so sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love, for love waves as a protecting and comforting banner over my head when I am near him. I can feel his left hand under my head and his right hand embraces me!'

He says to all the rest, 'I charge you, by the gazelles or by the hinds of the field which are free to follow their own instincts that you not try to stir up or awaken my love until it pleases. '

Vividly I picture it, the voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills. 'My beloved is like a gazelle. Behold, he stands behind the wall of our house, he looks in through the windows, he glances through the lattice.

My beloved spoke to me saying, 'Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth and ripens her green figs, and the vines are in blossom and give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.'

So I went with him, and when we were climbing the rocky steps up the hillside, my beloved shepherd said to me, 'O my dove, while you are here in the seclusion of the clefts in the solid rock, in the sheltered and secret place of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.'

My heart was touched and I fervently sang to him my desire and said take for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards of our love, for our vineyards are in blossom.

My beloved is mine and I am his! Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, return hastily, O my beloved, and be like a gazelle as you cover the mountains which separate us.

I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are...

...in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you...

...the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me...

Do You Know (Continued)...

Do you know?

That you draw out the best in me, that your light illuminates the fragments of my inner most self that no other could reach? That your songs and your words travel through my ears to the deepest regions of my soul? That your attentive ears hear the slightest change of tone; that you hear sound to understand and know me the way no-one else ever has? Before I met you I was a vessel, a number. Your beautiful mind created me; what is special is only so because it has been found and bound to you my special. You fit perfectly inside the shell I provide to be the beauty of the one; the core. You warm my bones and you stroke my soul. You are within my heart and there is nowhere I'd rather you were. We have a (64) rhythm.

I am twined in you...

Level flight soaring
Effortless pearls

Two hearts joined in joy
Spring hopeful now
Resting in each other

Serene, tranquil, at peace.

Our Passion (Warmth), BD 2006

Sleep And Active Dreams...

One enters the night in order to explore it and the twilight is its threshold. Interior darkness, darkness of the terrestrial depths, the romantic symbolism passes with ease and intuition from one world to the other. The nocturnal sky blends with the subterranean world of hells. The texts of time testify to that...

(But the light is like a materialisation of the ungrasped, the intersection of transcendence and the visual. It is the very character of the spiritual through antinomy to the actual. The light is its own truth, its domain to clarify. Inducing knowledge it is a picture of analysis, description and of the look.)

...well, unless you consider the worlds merging the illusions blending upon one another, the end acheived in its contradiction with the appearance conveyed by the invocation. Light and dazzling sunshine, rays of light similar to shafts, crossing the bodies and destroying them, beams of radiation disintigrating the flesh. Then the mystic aspires to be only of pure spirit...

Whimsy

Purest Joy

In the past I have looked at potentials with an eye for what they do, what they are, what they have. We, from the time of being a little girl, have been taught to do this.

The questions: What is his occupation, who are his family, what does he drive, does he have money...

Simultaneously, we are taught how to perform, how to play the role of woman and wife. We learn, that our worth is in our performance.

The questions: Can she cook, does she keep house well, will she be a good mother, can she perform well in bed...

Some of my deepest pain has resulted from failing to perform and so failing a relationship.

Knowing B has changed all of this for me. His nature is so compelling that I find all of the old questions irrelevant. I do not look for him to take care of the house, the car, the kids, or pay my bills. He does the thing that means the most to me: he is there for me, and he lavishes love on me. At the same time, he sets no standards of performance that I must meet. He accepted me from the beginning, and then loved me, as I am.

I think that there is something incredibly special about being in a relationship where the focus is solely to love and care for each other rather than taking it as a collateral benefit if it happens at all. B is the only person I have ever known this way and our relationship brings me the purest joy I have ever known.

Desire

16 July 2006

Aspiring

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

Licht Und Blindheit...

The blinding spotlight is a setting sun. The horizontal light of dusk, which strikes the eyes without the head having to look up. It is the hour of unmeasured shadows announcing the return of darkness. Intermediary time zone and moments of mixed emotion; exaltation and depression can be born from these fires and shadows respectively - the mental ambiguity in echo with that of the priviledged moment.

She Saves His Heart...

Wrapped in her warmth and care
There was suddenly nothing to fear

Moments: Cruising...

We sat, the wind was light and the glimmer on the surface was so like the glint of the black in her green where her depth was always apparent. She rested against me, her ear to my heart; my arms around her, my eyes adore her. Her narrow shoulders, not pressing, her weight, not heavy; she fitted into me perfectly. We watched, the passing was quite a sight and the beauty on the wharf was so bright like the the elegance of her. She spoke to me, her words in my ear; my thigh against hers, my mind attentive to her.

You
Touch me
Not just
Tell me
About other things
In your life

In a room full of people that I was supposed to talk to, I only wanted to talk with you.

When We Are Old

Will your love for me be as fresh
As the day when you
First knew it ?

Behind the dim eyes, gray hairs
And wrinkles, will you still see
Beautiful ?

Will you whisper softly into my
ear your love for me in the still
Of each morning ?

Will you know where we are, and
Where we came from
When I forget ?

Will you remember me
When you have forgotten
Everyone else ?

Ordinary Moments

Walking into a room where your things are mingled with mine. Seeing you in your chair, looking out the window, thinking your thoughts.

Perfect Perspective...

To flicker though
My thoughts of you
Just holding you in my arms
Through the theatre of dreams
I could see the world
And my heart had never felt

A Moment Shared...

First was an audibly unprepared call, then all worries drowned in the reality of the perfection in front of me. Her eyes were upon me.

Nervous anticipation melted into happy relief as soon as I saw his familiar features. When he wrapped his arms around me all the pieces fell into place.

My eyes answered, finding the unparalleled, the under professed, those beautiful eyes she has; the kind of a million signs, a window to the inner beauty of her mind and her soul; in a moment of time. The meeting of lines; between shakes, feeling safe from breaks I wrapped around her; the un-presumed now un-presumed.

The world faded into a distant blur of light and color - an insulated cocoon where his eyes, his voice, his presence were the only things in existence. My breath was caught, not in want, or in fear, but in fulfilment. This was the second in time for which my days had been lived.

Unperfected was the first talk we quietly shared to our next destination but amongst the imperfections of nervous disposition was our perfect image, unpronounced; but silently spoken in the strokes of our progressing painting.

Merging lines close the circle, threading the last binding link.
