The Wand and the Heart

Like a wand you appear-love-disappear
-and the heart explodes-as a sunset
-drenching-clutching the sky-the hue
-of blood desire hunger eternal
Moments of patterns and sounds
-and your wand commands my pounding-
What shall you do now that each
breath will never repeat recite reflect
the wand wanders weighing words wondering
if you will understand once and for all
you are not the wand dearest
-nor is this-magic spells can not stop time.
What shall you say now without me?
If you are the consonants I am the vowels.
How shall I understand half spoken words
-of dreams and intention? Of something
-that never was beyond the waving winding.
Who do you claim to be alone and heartless
-abandoning this love to reason and irrationality,
-the sun and the moon-the sea and the sky
We of opposites remain in denial, one as the other
mistaken forbidden blinded and lost.
Throw your wand to the caves and follow the clouds
-reclaim your heart in my love-
Find me dearest, call out, say my name
I am not-waiting-make contact with life
Daring to leave death behind.
