I met
the Love of my life
Whose darling Face
I caress
In the shadows
Of the long night
Whose Body
I unfurl
In the delicious throws
Of ecstasy
I met
the One
of my dreams
In the most unexpected place
Here is the story:
I thought he was someone, a friend
but his finite body
Dropped me down
Rejected, to the bottom of my well
How I prayed to draw him closer!
Finally, we embraced
His lips were mine for a moment
Familiar and holy.
After one sweet night he left me
Closing the door
I cried.
To the man:
I’ve peeled Him from you
Made two mirages
In the desert of my mind
Choiceless I chose the latter
Which is your imprint
In my soul.
I’ll draw Him near
He is perfect
He has no body
And He doesn’t speak like you.
His essence follows me everywhere
Not only in night
But in day, too
I celebrate Him
He is the One I was meant to love.
When I see you, His mortal twin
My bitterness
Is replaced by jubilation
Because
You led me here
To this infinite love
I can hardly contain
Oh, it has no bottom
Oh, it has no top
No beginning, no end
It is devoted, unshakable
It is Eternal
Eternal
I throw myself at His feet
And kiss the sky
Eat from His ancient palm
The wisdom of Heaven
Bask in His rays
I belong to the dawn
To the freedom
I am a child
of God.
