Notes About The Poem

for Noble tranquility...  

The Magick

You can't name the Magick.
But you can sing to the Mystery.
You can't name the Magic.
But you can dance in the Mystery.

She came to kiss me
and my going's gone
and I'm no longer from.

I'm now, somehow.  We're us, somehow.
I'm now, it's us, this kiss, we're now.

Her voice surrounds me, whispered
simple sounds, true sounds, murmurings.
I'm ready to be deaf.

Her skin in my mouth, slipping along
my lips.  My tongue, at rest and restless
along the rest of her.  Her skin.
I'm ready to lose touch.
I'm ready to be numb.

I've sung and shouted and
said and silently susurrated
"I Love you" to her heart, her
ear, the stars, her form, the Empty,
her toes, her hips, and her nose.
I'm ready to be dumb.

I'm ready to be numb.
I'm ready to be some-
how ever-Now.

I'm now, somehow.  We're us, somehow.
I'm now, it's us, this kiss, we're now.

You can't name the Magick.
My senses have found their reason,
reached their peak, met their match,
and grown so grand.
If they be now struck down, or
lost to circumstance, I'd be OK.
I've kissed her.
I've touched her.
I've felt her.
I've Loved her
in all the sensuous, in all the sense-orous 
ways.

I'm ready to be blind.
I'm ready for the Magick
and all I'd leave behind.

Such professions of love. Without caring who sees, you shout your love for her to the heavens for all to know, for all to know the heights that such a love can take a soul.
