Are We Are

Beside the breathless petting,
love is a wonder timeless -- 
in loin with club
I can see the pounding extended
fierce yet open ended
room for tenderness and caring
beyond the physical sharing

touch is a mystery overbearing

the feel of a lively other

all not silk

also sandpaper

we rub the nature raw

finding depth as we soar

meet me in the Rapture

both near and mystically afar

together we travel

only when magnetically entangled

are we are --

Yes there is more to 'our being' than sense and Flesh..And seeing Joe Dimino.' Sync and form Its all superceeded..Whatever we've wanted yet We often end up misleading, ourselves and others..I'd rather try simple love. And implore Revelation in homage to the One God.'

I can only speak from my own experience, which may not be as rich and profound as many others: “Simple…” -- I hear you, Joe. But, in the real world, in the world I know, I know of no one who has come to Christ were it not for a complex, often very hard-fought journey. Jesus, a prime example! God takes care of the birds…but he does not build their nests nor throw seed in them to feed their chicks. Indeed, there are ways of making life less complicated, and loving God is the best way I know.
