You compel me to write
a song without words
a melody that sears
in unspoken of memories
to move me beyond my thoughts
to give my dreams flight
hidden splendors of my desires
that were secret from my own self
expelling their radiance
wishing to be revealed
whether i can contain myself
in them or not
is as yet, left for me to see.
As I near the temple
I am already scared…
scared of the knowingness of how overpowering your fragrance is
scared of the innocence that the light in your eyes reveal
scared of the nothingness of the resonance of your voice that renders me blind and awake,
all at one,
i am seeking as much as I am found
flowing like a river,
rising as high as a cloud,
as I reach deep underground
hoping to catch my breath
but there is no time, no space
no devices made yet to gauge this place
except the mad throbbing of the heart
that suspends me a little more alert, a little more aware
and I close my eyes to your crushing gentleness
that threatens to sweep me away
trying to give up all that I am trying to save
and sensing my weakness
I feel you recede
only to flutter my eyes wide
and find the lack of you all around
realizing that i was still at the temple gate.
