I Had No Intentions To Conquer
I had no intentions to conquer
Never did, never will
Bring myself to such subjugation
From a such a miniscule empire
Of self bloated beyond recognition
Of love, or God's image again.
Yet the more I surrender
The more you became afraid
Of the voluntary abandonment of power
For what was there for you fight against
When conflicts drained your energy
Like a swamp, leaving you dry and absolete
To the resignation of my grief.
Love begins with you as my extension
And all of us as the shadow of God
It is a total deformation of self
And such a sudden negation of being
In the transition from I to newly compounded
Us. We always shiver in the dawn
But there was no map for sexual exploitation
Desire is a natural thing like survival
And the tomorrow of the world
Let spontaneity and reverance take care of that
I needed only a hand to hold
A voice to tell me from beside the fire
To open my eyes when the wave subsides
And see you smiling still at my side
I have no need to conquer me
Already enslaved to echoes of desire
Who did you think you were when you felt my lips
If you keep the dream you will find no distinction
Between my loving and your yearning so badly
But then at the point of irrecoverable submission
The fear of being conquered controls your tradition
A man who conquers anything must carry
More responsibility than love can freely own
I need my wings to fly
Not to hold to you and become static
Do not speak now, I already know your fear
For in that you found nothing in me to conquer
You feared that failure meant you were already conquered
By your need to love the transfigurement of being.I
