Love Me Enough

Love me enough to step out of your cage

Let the wild you meet me 
without bars between us

The door is open, step out, shed your tame self, let the wild you free

Move boldly to me, take the treats I offer from my hands, lick the leftover juices from my fingers

Walk in the sunlight with me, feel the warmth against your skin, our skin

Come with me to the water, feel the cool silk of wet against your skin, our skin

You stop to look over your shoulder, the cage door is open

You shrink away, I feel you leave, I let you go

You slowly turn back, close the door, and pace in your cage 

I stand in the sunlight with it's warmth on my skin, 
only my skin; 
I feel the cool water lapping against me, 
only me.

 

 

 

Beloved

Beloved,
Can you hear me calling you?

Run away with me.

Let's find a place where we can dance in the moonlight
and drink wine until we are both silly and giggling.

Remember how you kissed me that first time?

You touched my face and said, "I'm going to kiss you."
And, my life flew into a different trajectory.

Beloved,
Can you hear me calling you?

The Dream that Lingers

Waking to loss,
a sorrowing that runs a thread through the day.

The dream
lingers,
like foggy mist clinging
to the trees. 

Even as the sun struggles through the grayness.

Dreaming of the beloved, and
of a life that is not,
may not ever,
Be.

Reading Rumi

But listen to me:
for one moment,
quit being sad.
Hear blessings dropping their blossoms
around you. God.
~ Rumi, The Essential Rumi

I want to see you.

Know your voice.

Recognize you when
you first come 'round
the corner.

Sense your scent when I come into a room
you've just left.

Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.

Become familiar with the way you purse your lips
then let them part, just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space and kiss you.

I want to know the joy
of how you whisper 'more.'
~ Rumi, The Essential Rumi

My sweet heart,
you have aroused my passion,
your touch has filled me
with desire,
I am no longer separate
from you,
these are precious moments,
I beseech you,
don’t let me wait.
~ Rumi, The Essential Rumi
