In the Missing
“In the Missing”
In the missing
you never left
I walk with you
you still talk with me
We share our secrets
silently we escape
worldly charades
we are touched,
some say
we are ghosts
of our former selves
they see what we aren’t
they walk through us
they don’t know
us well, at all,
they listen
to their walls
to shut us out
we speak
our mind
with closed
mouths
Love is all
we feel
acute signs
tips of our fingers
trace the delicate symmetry
of our silent smiles
kissing the lips
of our wet sunrise,
lines are not drawn here
within our Eden
as below so above
we are gifting
sensual pardons
you rain o'er my skin
the mist of you, haunting
"I am",
you whisper
"all there is for you"
left in the beautiful
time of madness
Autumn
undresses slowly
there becomes
the spring of you
In my hidden winter garden
I listen to you,
you are the Summer unseen
I see you,
in my forest
I sense you,
In the leaving
we exist,
in this moment
never ending
veils are thin here
where once our love
was treason
you now speak
I am in love, so I listen
in the disappearing time
we remember, we met here
each the other We,
understood very clearly
the act of immersion,
in our simple poetry
we became
each the other
"We"
became
the gentle art
of being
strange gods
exotic creatures
In everything
I see you,
we move easily
here
flowing towards
each other
spilling through
the opening
of each
closing season
drowning
delighted
in our dream
sun and moon
reflecting
invisible on tears
glistening diamond pools
mirror images naked
mysterious
rainforest fools
in the time
of our singular eclipsing
In the missing
you never left me
I walk with you
you feel me, I hear
You watch
I touch you
in another world
we both listen
to each other
metronomes
stroking
heart beats
You never left me
in the missing
the others,
just disappeared

as Below, so Above - reversed/mirror
"As above, so it is below.
That which has been,
will return again.
As in heaven, so on earth."
Genesis 2:4-3:24
“...and when one of them meets the other half,
the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth
or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost
in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy
and one will not be out of the other's sight, as I may say,
even for a moment...”
Plato
