Of Ardour's Embrace
Insanity deigns not affirmation:
love's motives virtuous, I am in awe!
You convey no fear of me, nor trepidation,
tormented as I've been, and ravaged,
by that darkest fiend -
Embracing me, fully circling:
becoming that safe haven
for one who languished in belief
of never finding harbour
where ragged fears might be lain to eternal sleep...
Moved to breathless, electric heat
and crumbled into a storm of tears
precipitation so ong overdue
for this neglected garden which I near forgot - 'tis mine!
Pulling me gently, insistently
from the colder realms asea,
a glowing, lively lantern;
A hearth of illumined adoration -
the hopeful beacon, shining,
You have pierced the mist of sorrow
with the light of happy love
Warmth, and tenderness, you offer
outstretched hands, and open heart...
your words and laughter, your trialed wisdom
caress the weeping child here wtihin
Finally, the missing part of me: reality impassioned
which I have long searched for -
You have always belonged with me...
my soul has always known.
Cleaved one from the other
in a time long since breathed away:
we are mythos, eurythmy,
We are One.
K.E.C., 1995
