Act 1: The Fantasy
Our love affair
Would have made the Gods weep
Tears of Joy,
Tears of sorrow.
Tangled in satin,
Two lovers,
Bodies entangled.
Impassioned
Breath, hot
On supple skin.
Fire and Ice.
Sand and Silk.
We fit,
Like the eternal puzzle,
Cut forms of granite,
From God’s grand design,
Shaped and chiseled,
Aphrodite and Ares.
Twisting.
Tangled.
Two mouths,
Two tongues.
Hands over acres
And acres of soft flesh,
Rolling like green hills
Of summer fields,
Untouched by suckling calves.
One begins
Where another ends.
Deeper and deeper,
Connecting higher and higher,
Returning to the Divine Mother-Father of us all,
Repenting our lost
Inheritance
We never gave ourselves permission to mourn.
Higher and higher we travel,
Deeper and deeper,
Until the final blissful crescendo.
Act 2: The Awakening
The smoke fades,
The illusion dissolves.
The milky dream-state of our consciousness
Washes slowly away
And crest-fallen, I sink back to my aloneness.
A child-lost.
Lonely.
Forgotten.
Abandoned.
Come here to find joy,
To seek remembrance,
Holy Communion.
Heart Connection.
But the illusion is more real than the reality was.
And my empty
Heart aches.
I sink to the earth like yesterday’s laundry—
Still heavy with the
Lingering fragrance of
Achievement and
Desires
Half-met.
And in my misery,
And in my heart-ache,
And in my despair;
I remember!
My love affair with self!
Act 3: Homecoming!
I remembered why I came here!
What those late-night fantasies
And long, summer day-dreams were
Really all about.
Daydreams give birth
To real dreams.
And that is the secret
My soul told to me.
And my soul continues to dream!
The veil was lifted,
My cup was filled!
When self-love is first love
Nothing else matters!
The two becoming one
Is the illusion!
I am one and one,
And one,
And one,
And one,
And all!
I remembered!
When my soul sang
And I created my body in harmony with the song,
I rejoiced!
My creation was perfect for
My playtime on earth, and
I was in love!
And my soul continues to sing!
Today my song
Is the song of the Self!
I Love You.
You are Whole!
You are Magical!
You are the Light!
You are the Miracle!
You are the World’s Child!
You are God’s Child!
Love Incarnate!
Christ Incarnate as you!
You are Your OWN CHILD!
Raised
And loved in full acceptance.
You are your own lover, best friend, mother, father, wife, husband, brother, sister!
You are your own and no one else’s!
Listen, child!
Who are you?
