For Love

Yes lover, for you. 
Yet more still- for Love
Unfettered, 
On a scale larger
Than youth's dreams could ever hold. 
They shatter-
I bleed terror and delight, 
And expand beyond....
Unbound
From that small, lonely dock
I once pinned my heart on. 

Swing, glide, rock n roll wild, 
At sea on possibility. 
Singing, sweet harmony-
And Love's echoes sing back from everywhere, 
But most from the depths within.

Not IN it; I AM it. 

I cannot be unmoored, 
For this Love is my dock 
And my ocean. 
This Love is my boat
And my sail. 
Love- the very soul alight within me! 
I, this shard of god
That fell to earth. 

The dream of exile,
I slowly rub from my mind's sleepy eye, 
And awaken to the truth of ubiquitous power, 
No prodigal to anything but my self, 
I find I am abundantly home. 

Say not my love or yours, 
But only Love, miraculous and terrible. 
This is my home. 
This is my self. 
Our selves-
Love. 
We cannot lose what we are. 
Or win it. 
Only see true.

I weary of battles with mirror ghosts, 
I Lay down arms, 
Release-
Into the aweful beauty that is the only guarantee....

For now, love. For you. 
But yet more, 
And always, 
For Love.
