Goodbye Cry

It is
The desperate cry
Of a heart
Ripping apart
In the midst
Of goodbye

I want to
Show you
The enormity
Of my pain

I want to
Sharpen it
Hone it
Pierce Time itself
So it’s incessant
March
Falters
And Now
Together
Is Forever
Tomorrow
Separate
Is Never

Never

I never
Want to be
Apart from you
Even when I do
Just a little bit
It is with
The knowledge
That you are here
To come back to

Don’t go
Don’t make me
Go

No

Sheer force of
Will
Makes
Shards
Of this reality
Rearranges them
Until
Time loops
On itself
Beginning and end
Join
Hands
And this moment
Stands
Immutable
Immovable
And we
Slip out the back door
Into the
Wide
Open
Forever
World
Of
Now

Through

Flow through me
Like honey
I am porous
In the presence
Of your
Glorious
Being

In the
Tsunami
Of sensation
Every
Other
Thing
Just
Slides away
Yesterday
Tomorrow
The rest of
Today
Give way
To the
Pure pleasure
Of Now

Core
Lights up
Warmth
Wells up
Honey
Warmer
Seeps
Deeper
Into every pore

Drip
Drip
Drip
Of sunlight
That has
Magically
Passed
Through

My shadow
Once
So defined
In hard
Lines
Now
Softly
Sweetly
Gently
Diffused

And I know
Now
What I am called
To do
Not
Guard against you
Or hold onto you
But soften
Into the
Temporary
Ecstasy
Of letting
Your Light
Shine
On
In
And through
