To The Side

As I gaze upon you with loving, lustful eyes
Longing to embrace the ultimate prize,
Of erotic, lasting, life-long ties,
I see the rays that you reflect
Streaming to the side
Shining out - bright and wide
Gleaming white, yet to the side
***
Yearning for the azure flame
I recall the morning that I came
Tree tall dancing,
Your smile advancing
Your eyes exciting,
Your lips inviting
And found me...
***
Quivering with impatient hunger
My heart alight with awe and wonder
In that whispered breath of time
You wrapped your spirit into mine
Cast as one, our weld held tight
The seam so small, disappeared from sight
***
My light for you - the only one
Burned too bright - it seemed to stun
Blinded by God's sacred unity
Right down below plunged our beauty
*******
Now I wrestle with the source of thunder
That pushed us two down deep, and under
As submerged, two fused as one
Who could not see that one was none
***
Now I grapple with that booming voice
That tore the weld and left no choice
For us to once again - be two
***
The stunning two should have stayed on top
Right from the start, right at the top
With the bond below, a sturdy prop
A base from which to grow - not stop!
***
And as I gaze upon you now with loving, widened eyes
I feel the waves of heart felt pride
Saddened by the ebbing tide
Of that rolling joy when by your side
As away away... I watch you glide.
Into the distance you gracefully stride
***
The love I hold deep down inside
For which no invitation comes
No outstretched hand, no roll of drums
Must rise on out and fill my sails
To blow again -
The wind of lifes' love gales and trails
To dream again, alone
