Devotion Poem Paradise
Devotion Poem, Paradise.
(For Jim)
Dare I say —
We feel marvelously sculpted to fit,
Our hugs mold their moments
Into wishing to last forever.
Dare I say — my silent hopes
Rise into the liquid
Moonlit blue above our kisses,
Wanting to make millions of dozens.
Dare I tell the truth of how
My heart speaks out to you
Whenever we separate? That somehow
Physics moves you into two: to the elsewhere
You travel,yet still always here by me.
Dare I utter the new quantum rules of love?
How starlit galaxies hide in your eyes
To all except for me. How our waltz moves on
Through the juggled dimensions we cling to.
May I sing for others what our hearts
Keep in whispers? How to sense paradise
In the gift of your devoted spirit
Always awaiting close, holding the secret
Blessings of divine starlight in your pockets.
Dare I share the jewels of this love,
That they may be found and more easily kept? Or,
Might the vast variations of paradise await
Their own finding and defining, like rainbows
With their hidden treasures.
