I loved him in the time of storms, the time of reckoning –
when the horn of Gabriel resounded over Heaven and Earth
Angels walked among men, and men among the Angels
it was the long awaited time of ancient prophecy
I loved him when it seemed the world would fall into disaster
when the earthquakes ravaged the land and the oceans rose,
when humankind did not know whether they would live or die forever
he was just like those storms –
furious, consuming, the energy of a thousand places
ruptured before my eyes when I beheld him
Man and God Goddess Creator
I saw him in my dreams and the astral planes
the visions of the all the lives I had forgotten,
I remembered him in the parallel realities
he was man and woman, unrivaled in beauty –
he became my Shiva when he danced.
He tore into the fabric of reality
destroyed and created with the swerve of his hips
he was Parvati, Durga, Kali come alive,
with the sweet gift of the beginning and the end.
I died, and took my first breath
in his sweet arms, surrendered to the tantra of his love
Kali’s dark and loving hands
He was her, and she was me,
I was him and he was me,
I remembered what I was, the glory of who I was
God Goddess Divine, Mother and Queen
My King is lovely, free as wind and water,
sharp witted and stubborn eyed
shy and reclusive, gentle and wise
formed in boundless, indefinable love
All it took was gazing into his eyes,
to remember that we are One.
I was looking for a poem to read to my significant other and found this Gem!!! Just WOW!!
