Goodnight Kiss

Jupiter Love - Poem One

i wanted to write you a poem today
'cause i missed your voice

but it came back
beautifully on time
quiet though confident
calm & curious

i passed the day
dreaming of passing Time
in the Field of Reeds
some day

i imagined the jewel-tones
of the eyes of your Astral Form,
the precious minerals
chosen by the Gods
to be your Soul's
new Cloak.

you appeared first in Gold
like Ra,
like on the River.

but as you came closer,
i realized i wanted to embrace

what still remains
tough, rough
about you,

& suddenly i felt
the steadiness of oak
beneath my hands,
the natural scratches
of the feel of wood
that's braved wind & rain
for longer than even
Forest-Keepers of Time
will tell.

the curves of endurance's carvings
i run the tips of my fingers
through gently.

i don't know
if you've been
touched here.

i do not feel
you afraid.

in this Realm, i rejoice,
you do not flinch
or flee.

how much longer
'til you read the letters of my love
& skip with glee?
here

in the place, on the planet,
where troubles still rumble
& tears & bombs 
still rain.

my love,
i feel for you
as at the ends of the Earth,
willing & waiting for you
while i work
to ease MindWaters

thank you for
seeing my Sea,
for chasing once-forbidden
Thought-Horizons with me.

May our Straights
never cease
to find & seek

the mouth-sources 
of our Selves

in the sight of Seshat,
may our meeting-waters
flower the Field-Place
of our communion

let us take
each other's hand,
then finally, freely
ready to run.
