SLEPT BADLY

a love poem

slept badly.

worked all morning.

i love the view from your window:

jewels scattered in the night.

i want to see the view from your heart.

magic connections will abound.

high force set in motion.

in spite of what you think.

high force set in motion,

connecting above and below.

above in the unseen.

below in the unknown.

i drift in and out of your essence.

reading the runes of your soul.

different inside from outside.

learning a new language

of your faraway breathing.

destiny changes with those secret lines

running through all the webs

far beyond the sphere of time.

there the ones who see beyond

our realm see when the true

genesis of touch bears

astounding fruit.

o how to be ready.

when the dove hovers over

unwilling mind

must you yield up the millennial

ideas of sacrifice.

they know there’s no

sacrifice where there’s love.

just a giving and an altar-offering

without a name, without

measure. who can measure

the view from your heart?

i sit at its window

and the enigma

of the wild twilight city

makes sense to me

as the movement of the wind

does over the face of the sea.

watch the links multiply,

till a flower is formed.

can you birth a flower?

can you give birth

to the new self that’s forming

from the enigma,

a clear form mysterious

to behold, beautiful

as the dawn

over those blue mountains?

what is magic?

touching, and giving birth to worlds.

dreaming, and for the real to be in doubt.

loving, and being calm,

so that all becomes clear

like an angel’s evanescent form.

slept badly.

worked all morning.

all i have is a certain gaze of yours.

and the way when leaving

you take all of you with you.

and me at the window,

dreaming.

i want to see the view

from your heart.
