She was...

She was my first breath and my last thought
In our union I was reborn
Each moment like a new dawn
No perfect pleasure or absolute pain
Sensuous splendour no refrain

She was the ritual of my life
Beyond any mortal conception
Enduring love of mystical inception
Our reasons many our explanations few
A spiritual fusion of old and new

She was the secret to my completion
Surreptitious lover of the night
Rapturous beauty of naked sight
Gifted caresses to liberate desire
A radiant baptism of fire

She was the water that bathed my soul
A graced spirit of esoteric creation
United as one since mortal formation
Ephemeral alchemy in each embrace
Lingering memories of her face

A Moment of Regret

A moment of regret, cowardly flight
Uncertainty of soulful intimate delight
My life haunted by love incomplete
Happiness is fleeting, loneliness replete
Communities of longing await its call
But bound by our egos from grace we fall

This pervasive righteous myth of love
With rituals that maintain its rights and
Unspoken truths dangling in the night
Its dark and deep knowledge has no part to play
In our dreary day, too painful are its blessing
And so with unfaithful hearts we mess

But lust shames this hallowed grail
And frightened souls hide beneath their veil
Seclusion thrusts us into solitude’s arms
Whilst licentious nymphs wield their charms
We fear the look within fragile eyes
And solitudes exposed naked lies

No sanctity within promises broken
Ancient love acknowledged but unspoken
Love screams its unheard call
But we substitute normality for all
Silent thoughts nurture our original sin
False devotion incongruent splits us within

Weep for those who shy from its precision
For they abdicate hope and any decision
Love heeds not pleas to wait
For destiny is never late
Our senses eclipsed seek its union
Unprepared for soul’s communion

I am Mortal Now

I am mortal now,
Lessons learnt,
Humility earnt.
Limp love,
Passions jaded,
Extraordinary to ordinary.
Where was my solace.
I understand now,
Mortal flight mortal fright.

Generations knowledge,
Building tomorrow,
Power, wealth, glory,
Ancient blood long term sight,
Destiny determined,
Twilight.
Dreams squashed,
Colours faded.
Blind to wisdom,
Eroding knowledge.
I am mortal now.
