meditating at the top of Saddleback

this reverie of your surreptitiously appearing
awakening in me that truth:
You are never far away.

and you come back that easy.

while we were together just to convince myself
that I do not need you.

recounts the reasons you are no longer here.

hoping that I will not find you staring back at me
but you are always there.

though he sees in me what you could not.

though he cannot remember who you are.

that I cannot quell this sorrow.

sitting outside a door I cannot close.

when I wish you were still lying next to me.

that weakens my soul.

moving on like I am supposed to …

but I still miss you

Welcome wonderful Potential

have you come to stay long?

Your face elludes to familiarity

without giving away your secret.

Your energy swirls with such a peculiar design

I find I cannot contain how illuminous I feel.

How can it be that these lips,

so soft and hungry,

ache for mine as they do?

Hidden within your boyish smile,

are the words I have longed to hear;

kept safely tucked away

until I found my way Here.

Ever present is your need to hold me close

as if I would even think of leaving this moment.

Thank you Potential,

for waiting Here;

sorry I took so long.

As I AM

As I once was…

Beyond the comfort of Who I Shall Be.

Nevermind the blurs of past lives;

these whispers make sense of insanity.

Knowing the smile of my Dear One

his carefully askewed joy

is the meaning of everything

and all I ever need.

My mind once betrayed me

lying about One who came to me;

this One concealed his Identity

to be accepted for himself.

His pain I once allowed into mine

and fester without consideration of myself.

Now the Dear One I nestle with has woken me

from the nightmare I called  Love.
