In love
The lovers part
Again
And I crave solitude the way
A starving man craves Food
I lie in bed
Only silence
In the darkness I feel the sadness
Once so overwhelming
Now contains pinpricks of radiant light
Love
The pointed rock in my belly
Begins to radiate love in all directions
The supernova expands
My whole body feels warm and light
I am floating
In the darkness
My eyes open and I laugh in wonder
At having found my Bright Beloved
One of those (how many do we get in a lifetime? )
Who will always be connected to me
Always has been been
Since before we both were born
What a Miracle!
I reach out to him with the energy of my being
And feel him there, his sadness
I hug him to me and whisper comfort
I don’ t know if that’s his pain or mine
There is no difference
In the darkness, everything around me
Speaks of love
The hum of the refrigerator
Love
The warmth of the blankets
Love
My Beloved’s silence, his absence
Love
My loneliness
Love
The tic-toc of the rain starting
Love
In the sounds of the first raindrops
I think I hear him enter my home
With his key
He’s there, for a brief moment
I listen for him
Then he’s gone
Our love joins Love
The dark underground river that runs under our feet
Silent but unceasing
Containing all that is Love
The anger, pain, sadness,
The joy, laughter, communion
The light touch in passing
The jealous heat
The small gifts
The broken promises
The moments of electric connection
Our love swirls like water
Joining all the other lovers
Coming together
Then parting
Like waves on a shallow beach
The sands hiss
He recedes again
I whisper his name but for once
Don’t reach for him
