Within the Stillness
At the impossible end
Of darkest, silky vastness
Only One Star of Silver burns…
This is where I love you...
Within the Stillness
Of an ultraviolet kiss
Lain upon unstirring seas of blackness…
Where I find your face
Cascading out of starlight
And hold it in my hands
For the first… always the first…
Holding it where the hearts of stars
Are married altogether everywhere
At the vanishing point of sight,
Where only the heart's thirst
Remains to perceive… to understand
Throughout the vast incomprehensibility
Of space, time and love
Tremulous perfection…
This is where I love you...
Within the Stillness.
Where we as dragons gain the waters, subtle bodies aflash
As we pass through silver seagates…
Onward into Wisdom’s central body,
Through the long shadow of Wisdom’s essence,
Descending deeper beneath those waves
Upon which only One Star of Silver burns…
It's light pulsing there in endless extension:
This state of mystic paralysis
That can only sigh, only moan, only
Move its lips for one more kiss…
This is where I love you.
Where the moon’s soft breath
Presses against the lips
Of eve and dawn
Tasting them past the bounds
Of all endurance,
Melting them into pools of emptiness
That spill as wine
Into the Aqua Permanens -
Where motionless, wild swans
White as falling stars
Plunge suddenly beneath
The iridescent surface
Of swirling dreams
And are gone, chasing after the phases
Of the moon dissolved
In timeless streams of Aquaster,
Plunging to the bottom
Where all images cease,
Where a love so sudden and new
Rises to the surface
Of this brilliant emptiness
And looks into your face,
Blinding you from out the mirrory depths of space…
Radiant solution of love and being
In which all bodies find Supreme Release,
Floating into the cream of gold
Upon the river of the sun’s voice…
Reaching the end of things
And returning to the immediate center
Of love…
Rising into a pillar of starlight…
Flying through waters far deeper than sleep
But not love…
In which Thou and I are One
In this bodiless dimension that unites us
Regardless of distance
This is where I love you…
Where love is timeless
And we merge and emerge...
As Dragons in the Stillness
