PHOSPHORIMENTAL

Above the earth she seeks in dendritic patterns
Mirrored by his deepest caverns
One dies in the light of colored rays
While the one below lives on what’s decayed
Forever they travel opposing directions
Yet, each thrives with mutual intercession.

Everything enters the mind
through the hidden passages of the heart.
On this journey of beauty,
wade not in through details, but whirl in wonder.

You complain of an empty heart,
yet drown in the rising tide of its echoes.
Your heart is not truly empty, else love
would most certainly have come to roost by now.

One that whines does not have an empty heart,
but rather a heart filled with emptiness.
Stop beating your fists against invisible walls;
you cannot push through a door that opens towards you.

You tie your turmoil into tiny silk satchels,
steep them in bejeweled cups of boiling water
and stir bitter tea, sweeten falsely, drink up anxiously,
and burn your tongue.

Gather up the emptiness from your heart,
jump into the burning sun … and bake.
Your emptiness is not sated by more content.
Those believing they hold a heart, have not the arms to let go.

When love finds you, do not receive it as replacement.
With whom but yourself do you barter, negotiate, and compromise?
Throw the merchants out of the bazaar;
all here is freely given and received in the commerce of the heart.

Your beloved shining in your pellucid eyes
reveals the bounty within the shadows.
Dive deeper into those dark depths
filled with nothing but the light awaited.

Let rain fall in all directions,
let water flow upstream… be all that you are not
and let not what you are now
become all that you wish to know.

• Real love is the endlessness of a mirror’s own reflection in another
• Real love binds the sheep, the wolf and the shepherd together in compassion
• Real love is an impenetrable wall of wisdom between you and what you only think you love
• Real love cannot be given by or to, nor forged into a palace soaring around us; it is only submitted to within the fathomless self
• Real love is more patient with us than we are with it
• Real love is lost in the beginning of a whisper and returns at its end screaming
• Real love is jealous of any other kind of love
• Real love can have warm lips in the winter and a cold heart in the spring
• Real love is the last that you will learn of your self when you first know it within another
• Real love is just beyond where the tip of the flame disappears
• Real love is shared between constants not variables
• Real love is as it is and not how it should be
• Real love is a brilliant flash giving us but a glimmer of our frailty through an everlasting glow of our strength
• Real love is the very same mortar between the bricks of the mosque, the church, and the synagogue
• Real love persists most when it is pursued least, and never fled
• Real love is in the direction a broken compass points that when followed leads you home
• Real love is last ticket to anywhere; the water, the ferryboat, and the captain; and most of all, the continents it spans
• Real love leaves no trace of it ever having come, its footprints are yours
• If you find real love, let go of it…do not name it… the real Real has found you.
