Taste & Glory

Oh sweet adventure, ruler of this home. 

Others might claim to love you. They wait cautiously in the shadows for your arrival. They beg you to carry them to the remote islands they covet so often.  

They see you as a savior to the complacency they’ve used as a thread to weave the crevices of their insatiable bodies and minds. 

They don’t love you like I love you. 

They will say they feel a burning, flaming, passion for you. And into that greedy fire they will toss every tree their ax can kill, trees from the most ancient lands on Earth. They will say “Look at me! Look at the great lengths I’ve taken to burn the most precious matter for this flame within- for you!”

And unto those you do visit, they will watch you approach them as you arrive. They will stand and they will want you to give yourself to them completely.  To drain you of your sacred atoms; those that live inside the wind- powerful and invisible and capable of incredible change. To enslave you in the land of their suffering. 

But darling I want you to meet me halfway. I will come and take you to a place that houses a thousand places. I will take you to the ice caps of my adoration. I will fill all of your empty spaces with waterfalls of rapture. Upon you will decend the sunshine contained in these lips- warming every atom everywhere, with a kiss.

By my side you will see beyond what is seen, you will know more by feeling. Intuition will become the ruler of your body; the Everest of your soul. The Earth will shake and the volcanoes will erupt with the sound of your voice spilling confessions of love and loss. I will take your every regret and blend each one with paint to the clouds in the sky- to turn the waters of every vile thing you’ve ever done into the drops that allow rebirth. To cleanse you of your suffering.

You will be transformed. 

Darling adventure, I will love you into the steel core of this Earth. And we will melt. And we will live as keepers of a place that holds a thousand places. You and I. 

Come to me and know that my love is tangible and pure.

And one day when this planet has seen its death, we will become a galaxy of millions of explosions.

Each one containing the bliss in my heart the day I met you.
