Epic Journey of Understanding
Take pause for just a moment my love,
My desire compels me to request humbly
That you impart an allotment of time,
Such a window of unadulterated peace
One where only you and I shall partake
I beseech you to listen to meaningful words
Compelling imagery to captivate you completely
‘Twould be a moment that cannot be reproduced
Take positioning and do not stir nor depart
As your beauty compliments the surroundings
Slip into an ethereal meditation of pure emotion
One laden with interpretive visions of language
For tis a tale of wonderment I’ve to share
Where worlds merge for brief precious moments
Sights unseen make themselves visible
Colors shifting with hues yet unimagined
Faded spaces populate with sudden vividness
Plain sight prevailing over things previously hidden
Consciousness awakened, perhaps perpetually
‘Twas a night eternally etched in memory
When moonlight bathed the landscape
Stars contrasted against an endless sea of ebony
And everything radiated a previously unrealized serenity
An eve whenst that which was divine became accessible
Cumulative slips of time paused for admiration
Racing celestial objects slowed occasionally
Distant galaxies shared ambient illuminations
Moments escalated into aeons of wonderment
Spoken words perhaps lost
Transformed in an eloquent moment of stillness
Somehow their message conveyed in regard
Alone perched atop a gentle hillock
My mind completely open and heart willing
Physically aware of my separating spirit
As if this moment was one of anticipation
Consuming the plentiful magickal energies
Succulent sweetness; nearly reaching the perfection
Of that revealed in your tender kisses
Boundaries no longer impenetrable
The lengthy wait and the finality of achievement
Crashing silence of the veil being lifted
Gossamer threads no longer sewn
Sudden amazement by complete immersion
Aureate, glancing, gleaming light
Prismatic, translucent, spectral luminosity
Iridescent waves glinting and coruscating
Saturation absolute and awe-inspiring
Yet without any need to shutter my sight
Beautiful in appearance and eternal in memory
As if I was looking deep into your eyes
Coaxing intoxication from their loveliness
The growing silence of emptiness
An abrupt suddenness of expectation
Erupting with a hushed rushing
Building quietly in a crescendo of purity
Symphonic selections nearing perfection
Chords collected from across the universe
Threads slipping from above to braid and weave
Tapestries to delight all things aural
A gentle and serene sweetness
Previously only heard by my ears
In our whispered moments of intimacy
As my senses heightened to peak levels
Expectations no longer able to calculate
What if anything still remained
My detached spirit swimming
Frolicking in the energy reservoirs
Diving, splashing, and absorbing
Illuminated scented flavors of sound
Completely engaged on every level
Elementally, spiritually, and cosmically
Breathless and captivated
By nothing more than a momentary moment
A temporary stoppage of time
Yet, my thoughts remained only with you
Pondering these amazing surroundings
Searching for the singularity
That one thing that encompasses everything
That which could possibly hold sway
Over the shared emotions and feelings
Of the eternal love between you and me
