Divine Love Spent In the Midst of Two Lovers

Avete, it's been awhile...again. I have spent the past few months readying myself for graduate school. In the fall I will begin my journey to getting a Master's degree in bio-medical engineering, so I have been a busy bee. To say the universe has blessed me as of late would be an understatement. Truly, in the darkness shines the Light, although we may not always see it.

Below is my new poem inspired by a wonderful friend who was able to show me over the past few months that Divine Love shines in all areas...even the ones which sometimes try to sweep us away. Earlier today he showed me a poem that he wrote when he was fifteen which suddenly made its way back into his life again. It's theme an expression of love felt throughout the ages. To some love is a savior, to others a demon bringing pain, and still to others and obsessive thought that deters them from life's responsibilities. But the true essence of love is Divine. God is love, and it shares its love with us along the path of our Great Work should we choose to see it, even during times of distress. Here then is a poem about a true, healthy love experienced between two people, a love centered in the Divine Sacred which then feeding off of its own essence sheds its Light unto the world around. May we all seek to find true, unselfish, universal love. May we be selfless enough to not hinder it whether it may seem to stay or go, and may we seek to find its essence in all things.

Divine Love Spent In The Midst of Two Lovers

Sweetly, beautifully,

You touched me in the moonlight,

Your passing hand an eternity

On my waking flesh.

Too long have our

Souls been bound together

Yet, our existence left asunder

Waiting for the meeting of the Fates.

Exasperated,

Gentle kisses fill the air

Hungered by the loss of time.

Mental connotation has no breadth for

Length of time we must have

Known each other in lives

Past spent.

Born from the universe together

To meet and share its living wine

In you I see the spirit

To know you is Divine

Fortitude, set forth to conquer

The flames, and floods, and shadows

Of the sleepless night.

For we have had the patience of

The gods in wait,

We have forged through life

Growing old, and wise

Until the night there was reflected

Across the room

Two pairs of profound

And ubiquitous blue eyes.

Enveloped in a sweet perfume

Of timeless sway

I now touch the the quivering

Hands which lay

Themselves upon my soul.

And though the sands of time might waver,

Though our scented bodies fade

This fire burns too bright

To fade this time

When life's short journey

Makes its way.
