Breath of Life

Oí loved one
call me to my abode
..................Breath of life
That echoes
within my heart
Keeper of my joy
..................My pain
Shower upon me
dreams your eyes weave
..................Breath of life
Speak not
for dreams are deaf
Let them evolve within
..................your eyes
Fill me up
with chasms of awakening
..................Breath of life
Disperse upon me
winds of your scented omens
..................my hope
Vanquish my body
Possess what I possess
..................Breath of life
Define the rhythms
of my weary existence
..................my ignorance
Dissolve me within
Let me not wash away
..................Breath of life
Absorb me
in swirls of your love
..................in you

Give Me all Your Dreams...

Give me all your dreams...
            And I shall give you all the realities.

She sits so close to him
Him, lost in his sorrows
“So what was the question?”

I am senseless
            Shaking
In what follows my dreams
            Your realm

She whispers sighs of longing
He sits unmoved
“So what was the question?”

I feel numb but I feel something
            Nothingness
So close to me you are, yet you remain
            Unreachable

She reaches and touches his heart
And he thinks it was his own fate
“So what was the question?”

I shall give you all the realities
            Answers
Whisper what my heart needs to hear
            Unthinkable

She carries her saddened smile silently
Riddling her existence in his hands
“So what was the question?”

I shall gift you a picture of a picture
            Framed
The answers lie behind for your eyes
            Sealed

Give me all your dreams...
            And I shall give you all the realities.

Echo in my eyes
remnants of our past
Project your whispers
into my heart
Delicious in my mouth
the taste of your lust
while you feed upon
your remorse
Divest my innocence
with your plain sighs
Lick my body
on what my wounds lie
Taste the sweetened agony
where my eyes burn
and turn into ashes,
fruit of your need
satisfied, abandoned
Think me
in your heightened dreams
Caress my hopeless screams
and laugh the laughing laughter
under your sleeves
Draw me
where the lines fade away
around the corners of your palm
Write to me your destiny
and let me become it
where I reside
in stars of your prophecy
Name me your life
and I shall present you my soul
Let me be an omen
in place of your worship
Speak me in your prayer
and I shall hear you in mine
