The Threshold of Falling September Leaves

A few maple leaves gently fall;
It tells a soulful story:
Maybe we've never really been standing on solid ground,
Maybe we've started life tumbling like a peaceful yellow leaf,
And maybe the world is completely upside down
And if we really knew we were falling
we'd call this life
        heaven
finally breaking free of the suspension that never felt like home.

He watched as if she didn't know his atoms had birthed the chemicals of sex. And, just for that it was unbuttoned, the barefooted pride of exposed skin - her hips often rolled the clocks of time like that two at a time, heedless as the fermented wheat gems that bounced around the planets in her gut.

Now is Soon Now

The cold wind howls: Eventually I'll take you with me - not part by part, but completely. The dry air slowly creeping: My heart is dying to sweep you away - not into my life, but into the openness of love. It's the sounds of dissolution: It's not you or me: patience is embracing trustful freedom - the lion and the Tigress becoming one. Where the shadows once lurked there's a bright Sun: You're my home, the other half of my soul; we've been dancing all along, hearts intertwined with un-abandoned love. and where the moon used to hide there's an un-clouding sky: Finally come home: It's not really two worlds but one; you're already here together we'll just fall, purely open, definitely certain of this journey, purely perfected in our love.
