Heart Melt

This frustration – Seeking, seeking, seeking And not one curl of my beloved do I see. Hiding behind your veil, I know you are fanning my desire beloved My deep longing burns, Ignited by separation and love. Longing, burning, melting, Pain of separation, limitation, blindness – I surrender Beloved, I give up! S o tired, no longer can I continue such endless seeking; Heart B ereft, lost, a failure to your love - I lay down myself - darkness comes. Gently, a kiss upon the lips of my heart, A rose scented breeze caressing my face. What, what is this a wakening? No, not for I, I am gone, but yet do I live? Rising, d usting off ashes from my heart, So softly I call: Is it you Beloved ? and find the answer in my tears.

This barren longing, This lack of capacity to feel Thy embrace Beloved, Is breaking my heart. My longing for thy kiss, is a desert longing for rain, it makes the cracks in my soul deeper and in the cracks some flame is kindled on the bone dry tinder of myself. I wail, I know it is wailing because I’ve heard it before, In the Friends who’ve mingled love with separation; Like those friends, I find myself beginning to turn - It is the only thing that seems to ease the pain, Like melting in some all-pervading ocean. As my heart turns – it calls out this song: Longing the fuel, Love the flame, I will burn `til morning when nothing remains but YOU.
