Longing to Love

Too many words
too many words are spoken
i am simple
i cannot lie,
i didn't really want to be
but I am
and what, at first, i wished was not
is now my Greatest Joy
but these are just words
Too Many words
and what you need
from Me
is not
Words

Love is hidden within
each One of us
this is beautiful, and yet
not
For Love was never meant to be
Hidden
the very substance of Love
lies in it's ever reaching, ever flowing
thickness and expression
Love IS Life!

So how can i stand here beside you
with my words
too many words
what i long to give
and what you long to receive
are one and the same
so why do i stand here
with nothing but words
and the ache in my heart?

When I realised that bodies are Not
When I tasted my first Truth
When I gazed beyond your eyes
into the Moon
I was lost
Lost and floating out in Space
with no way back
no possible return
from this Sacred Space

When I touched the other side
of my own Void
and found You there
I fell to my knees
and I wept
I am weeping still

You, who are so free
You, who are One with the Stars
With one foot in Heaven
and one on this Precious ground
You who have bound yourself with imaginary thread
You who is yearning and crying out for Love
which I so long to give
yet which you are too afraid to receive

Does my heart break for you
or for me?
Is this hurting mine
or yours?
It seems I cannot tell the difference anymore
There is only Love
and the longing to give
and ache of having to withhold
and the constant contradictions
in all of this
which in the end become
the only sense

I hold you in the arms of my Soul
I comfort you with the fire in my heart
I Love you with my All
in silence
until the day when you and I
and all these brothers and sisters of ours
can Love and be Loved
freely and without fear

The ending of your hurts
and mine
