Cosmic Lover
I no longer seek an earthly lover;
their world feels plain and narrow
I feel burned by shallowness
of mundane everyday flow
I desire the presence of cosmic passion —
that awakens my psyche.
It was brought to me by
a secretive sky-walker passing by
my window at night.
He saw the candlelight
I left as a sign,
he slipped inside
through the narrow crack
in the intertwining pattern
I had woven into the blanket
hung beside my bed.
That night I felt him circling,
a moth of light above my head.
He arrived unexpectedly,
stunning me in my dream,
though I had waited for him.
His descent was fire —
overpowering, burning,
devouring desire.
He inhaled deeply
and touched my cheek.
Space swirled open,
a colorful gap pulling me through
into a realm I did not know
and I was terrified of
My lover entered through my gaze,
moving inward to the place
where earth and heaven meet.
He lifted me gently
and carried me across landscapes
both barren and lush.
My cloud-walker lover
rocked me like a child,
taking me on a cosmic ride
in a heavenly boat
that had crossed ancient oceans before.
We traveled through
sublime, unrecognizable terrains —
barren expanses,
lush celestial gardens.
Held in his tight embrace,
I felt whole and safe.
He carried me through
the vast cosmic womb
toward the gates of eternity,
where a marvelous woman stood
with blood-red lips
and a warm, mysterious smile.
Beyond the gates,
I melted into him
until we became one —
a cosmic unison of galaxies,
light and sound
announced our union
consecrated in heavenly court
In the morning I woke alone,
covered in sweat.
He was gone.
My unearthly lover —
I will never be the same,
nor satisfied with anything less
the door of my destiny swung wide,
opening the view of the abyss
