Jewel

Seeing you
For the first time
Unfiltered,
Unaltered,
Raw,
Unaware of your power
To inspire
Love,
that moves mountains,
Change,
that alters the course
of rivers, deeply scored into rigid earth,
Reignite a
heart,
Staggered by daggers
and swords
To beat a new message forth…
Seeing you for the first time
Is a moment of recognition,
The fervant phasing thru body of
Lifetimes
Into a solitary infusion point of
Rebirth
I have loved you before,
Now,
Forever.
Without a word spoken…
I am seeing the necessity of
This calamitous condition of unearthing
Self worth,
Raising eyes,
And expectation
That I might gaze beyond
The minute world,
Look up
And discover you
My universe…

Reaching You

Already there,
Already aware,
That some love changes things
-calculated ripples ring
Through space and time
Already know
the day
When you and I
have become…
Soft, this place with you
Safe, this space
where words confessed bear fruit,
Heal wounds,
Present days break through
-Past
Trust issues
-Life adjusts for truth
This is the good place.
And, I
find us,
In the only way I could-
With you, Always…
