Beyond

Beyond the Acts Desire Ruled

        Beyond the acts desire ruled
           lay gifts of love
           imbued with light.

        Beyond the realm of sight
           and sense
           and time,
        I felt myself pass into you,
           rejoicing as you entered me.
             (Not flesh--
             remember,
             I am not talking flesh here,
             but spirit--
             mine as it flowed once more into you
             yours returning again into me.)

        Not content to have only
           that pale reflection
           of mad, frenetic coupling in the dark
             (Pleasurable though it may be!)
             we chose to create a union
             so infinite in form and expression
             that I came crying
             at its kindling to know
                        we are
                      one soul
                    once again.

        And in that moment
           of mindful release
                  found
           we lost nothing of ourselves
           in gaining this love-created us
           which nascently waited for us to move
             beyond the acts desire ruled.
