Passion's Grace

It does not come by solicitation nor submission,
but by a consensual spiritual union.

Passion's breath seeks not lustful intention,
but the grace of the truest nature of love,
it's highest definition free falling as the autumn leaf
dances it's swirl before it meets it's desired place
of rest upon this earth.

I ask of you, and only you,

Kiss my forehead with tender lips,
and I will think of you as my protector spirit
as we begin our engagement, our belonging together.
Erase my mind of memory and for just a moment
in this lifetime, our grasp of solitude,
let there be peace.  Let there be silence.
Let there be just you and I,
and should there an intruder,
may they be met threefold with their intentions
as they are cast away.

Close my eyes with gentle fingers,
and I will imagine your face time and time again,
my beloved.  For I do not know you,
have never met you.  You are only an illusion
I have yet to encounter in this lifetime.
I will let my imagination fly far away
like wings on mighty winds
and encounter your beautiful face
on the multitudes of
strangers whom I encounter,
but I shall save my body for only you..

Warm my  mouth with your kisses,
and I will breathe my soul into your body.
I will give to you what I have inside of me,
my fire, my spirit, my pain, my promise,
my oxygen which sustains me.
May what I have be enough.  For it is my offering to you.
Simple though it may be, let not the illusions of this world
taint the treasure of my heart's warming and disquiet
the harmony between you and I.

Embrace my body with your arms,
and I shall immerse myself into you.
I will trace my fingertips along your veins,
feeling the pulse of your heart beat, again, again.
I will know you are alive as I am alive and
cherish this moment as if it were our last.
For tomorrow is unpredictable and shaky soil
upon which to rest my weary head.

And when the time comes you and I
should become one, let it be with the purest
of grace and the sweetest of divinity.
Let the fear of morning's coming not separate
our bodies as the candlelight burns down to
it's dimmest glowing.
Be with me in wholeness of body, spirit, and mind,
and I shall join you with the sweetest offering
I can provide.  My presence.  
For I shall tell you my name again and again
to confirm I am with you, wholly and completely.

I shall tell you my name.

I am no other.

Part from me gently, for you shall.  I know.
It is inevitable.  Life cycles, love cycles.
Passions are ignited like wildfires in the spirit.
Heart takes it's chances, mind wanders still.
Your veil, my beloved shall return into the heavens,
and you shall continue your journey until time ceases to
have use for you, as you have for me.
Leave with me a memory warm.
An imprint which I can touch with closed eyes
and imagine our moment without sorrow.
Let it be what it was.
Passion of the purest form.

There are no ties which can bind a soul's journey to a life which it does not belong.
