POETRY: TWO MIND JOINED TOGETHER

A sunset is perfect in every way,
It warms your heart and sets your soul free.
You are my sunset.
A wildflower is very beautiful.
The texture of the flower is soft and silk like,
When one looks at the flower they fall in love with it,
They fall in love with it, they desire it.
You are my wildflower.
A waterfall is magnificent.
The water is cool and soothing,
This water refreshes your heart and soul.
You are the water in the waterfall called,
My heart

'Tis my true love I give my all to.
For there is no other to fill the puzzle of my love but you.
Amidst the clouds of night my love's eyes shine bright
Putting the moon to shame
For all its many triumphs have been conquered
By a turning of the eye.
I walk with you, wanting nothing more than to feel your touch,
Letting our souls intertwine and bond as never before.
Forever I will stay with thee, never part more.
Loving you
All I ask is your desire and passion to fill my soul.
Without you, I am incomplete.
You are my everything, and for that I want all of you.

Oh my tired Angel, I will become one with your nakedness,
fullfilling every dream you now hold dear to your heart.
I will complete the final thought, song and minute of your life.
I will be there beside you at your final resting place,
sleeping silently beside you as you cross the great division
which now separates us.

I will be smiling and full of joy as you make your way homeward
into heaven's gates and into my arms, until then, I wait for you
-as final preparations are being made for the great celebration
of the spirits, as the last revisions and additions are being made
to the Book of Life, and as the final saints gather remaining lovers
and believers throughout the Heavens.

But until then remain steadfast and content, knowing if a sparrow
cannot fall upon the ground without me knowing, is it likely
you will have hardship or struggles without me knowing of it?
Therefore be comforted, and know I will carry you
when you are tired and weary, have no more strength to stand erect
and when you are unable to move on.

Oh my Angel of Tears I will lift you when you have fallen
from the weight of the day and encourage you forward -onward-
to your final home. When your brittle bones break
and your parched skin cracks with each step, I will feed you
-giving you water for your parched lips- offering you a place
to rest your tired crown when you can no longer find a place of refuge.

Use my wings when you become tired, my feet when yours become sore
from your long and ardous journey, and when the calloused sheath
on your fragile feet are stripped away exposing the windswept bones
which lay naked and blood stained.
My Angel of tears -cry no more for I am near you.
Nearer to you than you know, closer than the tightest garment.

I am a part of your very essence like a sunray eminating
from brilliance of the summer day. I am both your friend and your lover
I will never allow you go to bed without comforting your tired shoulders
and weary mind and satisfying your needs and deepest desires.
I will be that bridge over troubled waters and span the distance
between heaven and hell.

So with each step you take, your precious foot
is placed upon a foundation so great and stable
that an infant could crawl upon its treads and not a scratch would be
left upon its innocent knees. I will guide you...I will show you...
I will teach you lessons which will enable you to find contentment,
courage, hope and happiness in this troubling world and time.
My breath will cool you when you are hot -warm you when you are cold.

My hands will hold yours, my arms will forever embrace you.
You will know I am near and protecting. You will hear my voice
as you stand on the seashore gazing into your future, remembering your past.
My songs will echo against the rocks like a thousand waves
crashing against the shore.
My name will be heard from the highest mountain and lowest point on earth.

You will hear me in your dreams, there I wait for you each night
should your child spirit need my wisdom or guidance.
Sing, laugh, soothe -my song is good, you will know I am here, forever
...giving you life......drying your tears-
warming your cooling spirit and keeping you from bitterness' soil.
There is hope my young angel.

For our army is many and our strength is mighty.
Do not cry and feel abandoned though you currently feel disconnected
from the spirit. Your brothers and sisters walked this journey
before you and learned of their mission. They fought the good fight
and learned those lessons which will enable them to become.
Become a soldier and fellow partaker of the blessings of Light.

Remain steadfast in your present mission and journey, I am beside you.
I am near and stand close to your breast. I lay my head against you,
place my lips upon your shoulders so you might know I am not far away.
Return to me when your mission is complete. Return to your original home
and begin your preparations for the final Celebration of Spirits.
I am Near...

You are the sunlight that brightens my day
You are the stars that light up my nights
You are the gentle rain which calms my soul
You are the snow that blankets my heart
You are the air that lets me breath
You are the water that gives me life
You are my life

I know a man who put together
an ideal woman from all his desires:

the hair... he took from a woman in the window of a chat,
the forehead... from a ancient African queen who died young,
the hands... from a crush he had as a kid,
the cheeks... from a little girl, his childhood love,
the mouth... from a woman he noticed in a phone booth,
the thighs... from a young woman lying on the beach,
the alluring gaze... from this one, the eyes from that one,
the waistline... from a newspaper ad.

From all these he put together a woman he truly loved,
And when he noticed... it was u.

It is a feeling
like no other-
A warmth that comes
from within.

Two minds
joined together-
A closeness
alway there..

In moments
of despair
and troubles
growing strong...

Two minds
face it together-
Two minds
like one alone....

Love is unequal
and cannot be
surpassed-Man
and Woman together
is splendor at
it's best....

The hunger for the food of your love,
the taste of you lips upon mine...
the sustaining touches of your hands upon my face

The Thirst of you words, drink for my soul!
Quenching the dryness of life within me.
Speak, touch, say the word...
I am yours.

I fell into it like a fever
or a daydream.
Unknown at that moment,
or so it seemed,
Beauty now soaks through me,
never failing.
Ascending me, mending me
almost daily.
Expecting nothing , but knowing;
bright-faced, rich life
and showing.
Happily giving but living,
in turn,
Running, glorious, into arms
that yearn for a warm heart
and caring touch,
but one can only do so much.
Unable to proceed where fond
hearts lead,
though we're never separated through
every kind thought elated.
A certain unconditional understanding;
an eager glimpse of beauty,
but never demanding.
Open hands and minds;
gracious eyes,
Level to the world, but richly
comprised.
For if a fraction of time can yield
so much,
Wished, a thousand fractions
could prove such.
So thankful, I am, for it
being me
That found you to cherish,
and to be
Everything for you above.
For these are the things in you
I love.

As a ring encircles the finger,
so my completion encircles me
An intertwining of life's beginnings and endings
meeting in a journey of souls,
as an enchanting enhancement of life's offerings.

That circlet of sanctification purifies the spirit
offering its serene blanket of self-attainment
to those who probe its endlessness.

Love envelopes the soul, caressing ever gently
the wafting ether with her kisses,
The vermillion tinged emerald meadows
bare their essence to her glory
Offering up their expanse as a sun-drenched blanket
to love's proclivities.

Completedness flowing from one to the other and back again
as a ring of fire,
soft passion burning away layers
of past impairments to completion,
old hurts cauterized in the fervor of frenzied healing
renewal, sweet renewal singing above the meadows
as lovers soar in their circle of completion.

And the ring spins,
twirling round about in its perpetual journey
as love spins her web of joy

joining hearts
in completion.

To hear your voice
makes me smile
To touch your face
makes my heart race

To look into your eyes
makes me alive
To have you in my life
makes everything worthwhile.

A man walks alone
The day is dark, it's raining
He passes people, not noticing their existence
He is cold and weary
His mind on the brink of insanity
For no apparent reason, but that of fate.

He lifts his head
Then he sees her
The clouds part, the rain stops,
He feels refreshed and renewed
As if he had just taken a warm shower
Or awakened from a peaceful sleep.

Like an angel, she brightens his day
Intrigued by her mysterious power over him
He decides to say hello to her
She greets him
Her voice is that of a quiet river
So sacred that it stirs his soul
And he wonders why he deserves to hear it.

Over time they become good friends
She tells him her deepest secrets
And he confides everything in her
He realizes that his love for her grows every day
He gathers his courage and asks her on a date
She sees that he is shaking
Out of nervousness and fear
He is afraid that this could end their friendship
She says yes and he lets a sigh of relief escape his lips.

The time passes
They have been dating for a while now
He wants to be with her forever
He buys her a ring
One that shows how much he loves her
But without spending too much money
He takes her to the place they first met
She wonders what is going on, he says it's a surprise
He tells of the time they met
And how much he loves her
A word he doesn't take lightly
He tells her he wants to spend his life with her
Then, he shows her the ring
Her eyes light up, but not because of the ring
He could have given her a lifesaver for all she cared
She hugs him and he puts the ring on her finger.

Their wedding is a happy one
With flowers and all things that are pleasing to the eye
They have a family
Three children and a dog
Over time, the children grow and leave the house.

Again they are alone together
They become grandparents
And spoil their grandchildren like all grandparents do
They grow old together
And as they grow, so does their love.

He awakens and rolls over to see his wife of 53 years
He tries to rouse her, but her eyes will not open
He knew it had to happen some time
But, O God, not here
Not now
I'm not ready
These thoughts rush through his head
As tears flow from his eyes
The funeral is a sad one
She is loved by many.

He lives on
But it's not the same
He's not the same
As if part of his soul has been ripped from him
The clouds return
The rain begins again
He doesn't seem to notice his family and friends
He is cold and absent
The emptiness in his heart cannot be replaced.

He goes to sleep
The sleep of a weary man
He sleeps soundly, not to be awakened again
A look of peace washes over his face
And again he walks alone.

My love for you becomes renewed, each and every day.
Soft spoken words and thoughts combined, allow for me to say,
I love you so - don't you know?
Spoken, and so true.
I love you more than words can say.
I really thought you knew

My love for you becomes renewed, each and every day.
Soft spoken words and thoughts combined, allow for me to say,

14

Did you realize
That one touch
From your hands
Sends tingles
Through my body

That one look
From your eyes
Gives me
butterflies
In my stomach

That one smile
Makes me
Fulfilled
In my
Heart

That one kiss
From your lips
Makes me weak
In my
Knees

It's scary how
The smallest things
Can complete you
And the smallest things
Can break you



15

Her essence rises and touches me softly
As her expression lures me inside her voice
Whispering of all the magical places untraveled
Guiding me to the paths of the unknown and unseen
She gazes down deep within the recesses of my soul
Taking hold gently as she embraces all of me with just a touch
Within the folds of my budding consciousness of her near me
She awakens the darkness and a surrounding light she unfolds
Her essence rises and entrances me entirely
With it she moves me like no other has ever done
For she has come to birth the very core of my being
Giving life to what once was hardened and gone
She comforts me in my moments of discouragement
Singing a song that soothes my heart and my mind
Words spoken with whispers of loving seen within her
Heartfelt voices of the longing she has shared from inside
Her essence rises and I know that she is the one
As I have never felt my world break away in so many ways
Releasing each single part of everything that I am
In return giving freely to building my world around her



16

When you are sad- i am sad

When you are happy- i am happy

some call it obsession, others call it love

I call being with you...

Is like heaven and above..

I gazed across the mountaintop
A vast array of unexplored fields,
And I saw within the magnitude
Streams of passion filled with dreams.
I beheld with speechless perplexity
Those fragments of lost realities
And I filtered my mind, my soul...
As I gently watched the serene streams.
And it suddenly became revealed -
Those catchy hooks and killing looks.
How wonderful and beautiful are they
The sight my naked eyes have seen!

While I patiently knelt in wait
For you... to see your gorgeous face,
Your voice smoothly caressed my skin...
And silently whispered to me with grace:
?Hold thy breath... oh, my destined best...
Walk down the stairs with boldness and strength
Till you reach the sacred place of rest
Where my love for you attests...?
And as I reached this hallowed place
The golden tent rent in haste
And there the truth became revealed
That no one but you are my dwelling place
