you here with me

you here with me

i have dreamed the dream

of my 40 Virgins

and i was given a thousand

yet they are despoiled

paled

in the presence

of thy Divine Etheric Beauty

i know the road was not easy

and i have been here

waiting your arrival

over the many aeons

of being apart

i have suffered

as i know thou has

as well

i dreamed of things

that i may distract myself

from what was missing in my life

you

but they would not do

they only served to annoy me

i dreamed of other souls

that would perhaps come

and cajole my anxieties

into pleasure

but my love

you are the only treasure i desire

you are that spark

that ignites this soul’s fire

to yearn for completion

i am not whole

without you

i am but a vagrant soul

drifting upon the winds of eternity

diligently eyeing

the plains

the fabric of space

praying that one day

i may fall

from these clouds

of complacent illusion

and land

in a place of understanding

where i may

for all the rest of days

that are held

within the breath of infinity

i wish but to

see you face again

embrace you again

taste you again

and again

until the endless fabric

of God

comes undone

and we know

that can not be

we are destined

to be again as one

one love

one heart

one thought

one breath

i shall withhold my breath of hope

until my lips are upon that of thine own

for  thou art mine

and i shall exhale

in reverent gratitude

as our journey to self

found in each other

concludes

with the waking from the Dream

becoming as it should be

with . . .

you here with me
