How Do I know What Has Not Been Known

Something aches
in my depths
When you are far

Perhaps the sound
of lies escaping
once conquered

How fragile is truth,
as a breath that leaves,
my lungs longing for air

Faith in the unknown,
that which has no shape,
that which is a tale…

How does it taste?
How does it feel?
How do I know?

As if the heavens
planted a map
like the moon's aura;

The ballets
of tree limbs that
tremble my soul

or the ebb and flow
of ocean caressing land,
solid and liquid intermingled.

I recall a dream
never dreamt
always bared

the scent of bliss
the warmth of trust
the taste of light

water meets earth
fire meets air
soul meets flesh

You were near,
fear receded,
strengths exchanged

I was here
guard receded
weaknesses embraced--

Beauty as we breathed
Your heart, my hand…
My spirit, your eyes…

Linger on my lips longer,
as I long for you,
live locked within me

Peace and chaos
Conflict and reconcile
Balance, we are love
