Wayfaring Beloved,
how shall I hide it?

No captain...no lighthouse...no shore...

No more denying
Providence, circumstance,
Cruel bright Light
plotted and foiled
our every attempt
to Be Together.
To be Human in each others eyes.

In a secret moment
the Veil was lifted
your Real face taken unaware
shining exposed
under the lamplight glow

and I saw you...

twisted
contorted
vulnerable
cowardly
manipulative
selfish
cruel
prodigal
afraid...

and I loved you more.

Darling, I Loved you even more...

For understanding

For being given the gift of All of you

For realizing my Love was unconditional...unshaken.

Accepting

Enduring.

Adam and Eve after The Fall

trembling naked and exposed
in each other's arms...

metamorphosized from the cocoon

That stark moment of Vulnerability
empowered Us the potential to Love as Gods

There was a choice
a crossroad
Heaven trembled in our arms...

You let go of my hand just then

I wander the wildnerness alone

aching for Our Innocence.
