My beloved has been taken from me
Wrenched from my embrace
Blood pouring from wounds
Where once we were inextricably entwined
My heart, my soul bereft
I flounder in the aftermath
Weeping blood, so lost
Until the scar tissue forms
And I forget
Then eons later, as I blindly search
I find myself immersed
In a pool of liquid warmth
An exquisitely pure energy
Filling my heart
My eyes, long closed, open wide in recognition
Before me, I see, suspended in the dark space
Deep, deep red curving shapes
Graceful pendants of solid glass
Glistening reflections beckoning
I move forward into this space
Heeding the siren call
A single ruby swirl
Penetrating my right eye
The smooth flow perfect
The entire periphery of my upper torso
Aflame, aflow in the red glow
The tingling warmth lights liquid fires
In a slow wave down
The inside of my right arm
Dissolving the skin
Uniting it with my heart
The warm, meaningful flow
Fills my entire body
And opens a column of space around my spine
Patiently I wait
As the sweet, liquid softness gathers at my base
As the clear fluidity slowly rises
Gently pulsing upward
Until this slow liquid pleasure
Explodes in slow motion
Out of the top of my head
Circling around to engulf my entire being
In the smooth softness, I relax
The shimmering builds again, laced with grief
And deep, deep longing
Pervasive poignancy
I fall from the cusp
Shockwaves striking me
As every muscle clenches inward
Rock-like
And in this eternal hardness
A certainty, absolute and undeniable
GIVE IT BACK!
I hear, I say
GIVE MY BELOVED BACK!
