One
Reaching out with all I am,
beckoning you to discover me
and the secrets I contain.
Let my smile and laughter pull you near
so the glint in my eyes might excite you.
Speak with me of honest things
which both our hearts contain.
Put aside hesitation and doubt,
step forward boldly, eager to see
if we might solve these mysteries.
Reach out with your hands and close your eyes,
seek with me that secret place
where we both have longed to go,
the place we have never known.
Curtains of gauze blow in the delicate breeze.
Pull them aside one by one
exposing more of me
to the questing of your soul.
Learn my secrets.
Swim in the depths of me.
Each step you take,
I'll match them one and all,
bringing myself to discover you in your entirety.
I long to see the world through the heart of you.
Abandon this place where we reside
and everything it holds
so we know nothing but your touch and mine.
Skin upon skin, mind upon mind
as we seek to reach beyond the known
to a sacred place where two becomes one.
Bowing before each other
to worship in utter abandon
the one who knows us best.
Sharing such intimacy, before we couldn't dream.
Melting together our flailing limbs
until there is naught but us
aspiring to become one upon another plane.
Lifting each other higher,
pushing towards the light,
that great awakening of the secret we've held within,
Needing the othr to create the key
that will unlock the door.
Halves of a whole fitting perfectly together
as friends and lovers, each the others everything.
At last complete and knowing we reach such heights
we seem to have taken flight.
Soaring, sailing through the stars,
feeling their glittering light.
Reaching forward with one soul
we grasp the truth in all it's radiant beauty.
Exploding through us is the exquisit joy
we are the world and all is one.
Basking in the glow of the secret we revealed
we feel such completeness and calm
as we drift upon the clouds,
back to the feel of each others arms.
Linked forever in a way which defies both space and time.
Baring ourselves, in every way,
to the searching of each other,
we've found the one whose soul we dared to see.
Our one from whom we'll never part,
hearts entwined through all eternity,
forever exploring the realms beyond reality
