Intrigued by what I've discovered
Swimming deep within
Your Eyes,
I dove-- despite fear--
A bit further in you,
For our Truth to emerge realized.
Cautious, but willing, I've Opened my heart
To find within you what is real
Searching deep inside you,
I found more of what's me,
and the difference of how we each feel.
I sought for Starlight
In your Midnight,
Willing spark to take to flame,
But your Love that seemed
So strong before
Crushed into
Anger, scorn, and shame.
I walked forth into bitterness,
Open and Raw,
To where The Answer
Reveals Itself
to only those
who come
Naked.
I fanned the embers,
Seeking warmth within Trust,
I nurtured flame within my heart,
And unseen shadows
Revealed themselves
in their
Dissolvement,
Unveiling Truths
You hoped would stay
Hidden from me.
But why hide?
WHY HIDE?
WHY did you
Silence the cry of the Eagle Within,
Then shoot arrows of guilt into mine?
We share the same desires,
Yet you've shamed upon me still,
When you'd look into my eyes
and see
Yourself
Reflected there.
Bathed in Love's nourishing radiance,
Nestled Together,
Sister and Brother,
We have fed from the
Breast of Creation,
Grown together in
Oneness of
Cosmic Osmosis,
Stunted only by
Divisions
You have Willed.
Inside this womb of vulnerability
I find the place
In your Life
You have made for me.
And I cannot remain Open when I am
Shamed into casting
What's Real
Into
Hiding,
And I will not be reduced
to be your
dirty, little secret
to your friends and to your family.
I will not hide with you.
My Soul must sing,
The Sun must shine,
The flight of Hermes guides my Heart.
Clearer and brighter
Their radiance beams
Because of you,
My Star Seed Sister,
And the Love that's mine grown deeper for us both.

Re: Your Eyes, Part III
Wed, January 19, 2005 - 1:12 PMThank YOU, Beki, for sharing your kind words. I am honoured that you've spent the time to read them, and had the heart to feel them.
They were written one at a time, freshly, as events transpired in the very short (yet reletively profound) relationship. By Part III, things had obviously taken quite a turn... the details of which are not really important, as it's the emotional conveyance I was shooting for. Needless to say, they weren't written FOR this Tribe, but I found no reason why I shouldn't post them.
Thank you again, for reading them and replying. -

Thu, March 1, 2007 - 7:57 AMThank YOU for honouring my experience as I do... The pain as well as the joy...
I'd not trade an ounce of FEELING for anything... I am blessed to live such a Life full of richness and emotion.
"The mountian is high, the valley is low, their oneness is our greatest treasure..."
Ho.
So it is.
(Can I get an "Amen"?)
