Tidal Waves - A Series of Lovepoems

Your Aura is so thick
it is palpable.
majestic

I can see it behind walls

behind doors

around corners

gleaming, rocking.

Why do you run

oh darling

Why do you hide

Is it pride that's captured you?

Ensnared you in its clutches

wrapped around you like a cage.

Thick, cold metal binding your

beautiful beautiful light.

Wow--if only you could see what I see.

You were made of light.

Birthed in it 

like a golden stream of honey.

Your aura is thick with it. Rich.

Dear, dear creature

Why do you wander

Where do you go

Seeking, Searching

Fighting, Fleeing

The Earth mourns for you

it heaves and sighs

and I with it.

Tears like monsoons fill oceans

where waves crash over us.

How many more 

moons will you take

Dear one

How many more seasons

Flying away

Flying through you is

the divine spirit

and yours with it

Do not seek darkness

which calls to you

from the familiar depths

of your womb

your power-chakra

It's cry

and howl

pierce your mind

your throat closes up.

Its clutches bind you

Your third eye weeps 

for the beauty

it can not see.

This darkness

like an old friend

bows to you.

It fills your empty places

with its two-faced words

and empty promises of bliss.

It keeps you company

in your silent moments

playing on weaknesses

like a game of competition.

and wedging into cracks once opened

ever-prying and

turning its back to you

when you least expect it.

Then forever knocking

on a door you swear always shut.

You know. You shut it.

Don't listen to its whistling

its humming

its breath on the wind

It is always searching

for another way in.

Saying Hello,

to reacquaint itself 

with your familiar mind

and heart.

To tell you the easy way out

the one you want to hear

that you always want to hear

long for.

The sounds of a siren.

Don't give in

Fight

You have to fight.

You must fight.

Your precious heart deserves better

More.

You deserve peace.

You are worthy of love

You are worthy of joy.

Believe

Please Believe.

True Love is longingly waiting for you

To embrace it with open arms

with grace

with humility

For you to let your tears finally flow

To settle your aching heart

and to let your chest heave

and release your inner truth

with a final sigh.

This is not just a dream

or a fairytale

I see, dear one. I know.

But my words

are nothing to you

but a passing songbird finding food.

Your words

are the only words

that have power over you.

Your thoughts

and the words of your inner world

all hold the key

to unlocking any door

of your heart

and of your life.

~

I love but I cannot give.

For you reach to me

with claws like the siren

that chains you to your old ways.

If I bowed

we would both fall 

and drown.

Oh love

Oh love.

You must always know

and always hear

the sound of the light

The truth waiting at the door

for you to simply let it in.

Humility and courage

are all that are needed

to free you from yourself

and your tired aching heart.

Love is here.

Love is waiting

and with it

truth follows

freedom

like snowmelt 

to the oceans.

~

Where you go, I cannot swim.

Oh friend, who's made from golden honey.

My soul weeps for yours,

for the battles it carries

like shards of glass

within its depths.

Your smell still lingers on me

but I daren't recall your love

I long to embrace you eternally

although knowing I would fall.

My gut wretches when

I think of your grip on me.

I am strong

but your game drowns me.

Large ocean waves crush me

whenever I stand in your presence

still longing for peace within you

to form connection between us

the intimacy everyone yearns for

Woe is me

A light in the darkness

that can not shine while

you remove my oxygen.

If only I could open

your heart to breathe

the fresh air

that we both crave.

Together.

I dare not waver.

I must preserve my light.
