Mystic Love Poetry

None Other Than You



lover unknown
the mysterious other
I know you so perfectly
impressed without boundary
the line that my being,
says "I am inside me"
knows the line that divides us
is the line that defines us


there is none of me present
without presence of you
whether physics, spirit, or pure understanding
more so than in love
or an illusion of searching,
whenever I'm me
there is you


Overtaken





Of What Is in a Mystic Love



A mystic love is a love that is because is is
that cannot be denied by any isn't
that is affirmed by every was-will-be
a love unfolded
like the blossom of the rose that has budded overnight
to welcome the affection of the sun on as many petals
as it can stand to spread across its span


what evidence do I have?
coffee
breath
smile
headache
photograph
joy

we face the future not as a vast expanse of what-if
but instead a yet unrecognized taste of what-is
like tripping down the stairs to discover the bone that wasn't broken
we unravel it by bringing it to our attention
coming to know that what wasn't noticed was - not noticed
how much we have
how much we know
is limited only by
how much we can give up
how much we can forget

I forgot what I was going to write
oh. now I remember.


Imagining Sheryl and Dan at Sea Ranch, CA



Sea salted fingers carouse a stony foyer path
opening, inviting us together hailing Home.
Two story rambler raises raftered rural bodies,
taken by the genius that erotically is known.
Invigored spirit channels Frank Lloyd Wright's impassioned fingers
is proclivity, sensually designed of the divine.
Energy, naturally: in the contoured edges teaming
of my landscaping with fauna sprouting perfectly in thine.
And a mudslide pilgrimage
dampened soil readjoined
to the granite cradle of
new foundational recline.
The trees throughout the forest sway their bows all directions
in the rhythm to the wind, the prajna, Eros, and the mind.

The spirit flickers through the tongue's Pacific lapping waves.
Against the rocks: upon the shore: young oceanic blues.
together we observe the mist, the fog, how it behaves.
The liquid spilling through the air advancing marine hues.

Six appendages: ten thousand ants: sixty thousand fingers.
Speaking in a voice: huddled in a mass: subtle, timeless credo.
Being, as she's known throughout these parts to you and me
her name, name of passion - Gaia's pure libido.


Of Murder and Love and the Fall of Forever



Fall is the season in which time itself seems to ripen,
where heat singes the coattails of cold
and cold incapacitates the fists of heat
in a mutual surrender on the very battleground
where language and love gently fondle each other
as impossible boundaries describing new ways for
lovers to utter goodnight on the tele
when all they truly want is to
singe the coattails of love
and incapacitate the ravenous,
incendiary metabolism of desire
but this is all fine
and good
and is as deliciously unreasonable
as any of us could hope to be
in a march as frivolously impious as this,
giving up as much of ourselves as we can
to the most outrageous intuition:
as in the murderer of murderers' murderous desire to murder
such is the lover of lovers' loving desire to love
simultaneously makes more sense than anything
we have ever before experienced
yet seems to be the most outlandish
endless rabbit hole of bliss
an open expanse of now that makes the past
synonymously symmetric with the future
so much so that looking backwards still gazes forwards
and gazing forwards looks backwards to the future
until we both give up trying to figure out which is which
and once again collapse on our beds
to laugh another night
and to cry another day
together
