and when you find me… I dare greatly

i have moved my love to be where you are
beyond the walls of what once I perceived as love’s limited reach
deep inside the passageways of the maze of dreams
i am the wistful path remaining
echoing the faltering steps of uncertainty
catching the soft curve of your sole’s inner-arch
sniffing the elusive air for your scent’s trace
going mad in the yearning for you

and when you find me
my mouth is an empty well in a desert
craving a drink of you
i breathe you in
…
then wait for that fragile window of time
then wholeheartedness leans in and through
and swings wide open the doors to you
in a flash I slip in
and one again my mouth is lost in your mouth
drinking
delighting
drowning
…
i resurface
and find myself locked in the fire of your eyes
it is then
i dare greatly
…
inside its hold and touch
i am a child let loose
a darkling wild at play
a numen roaming the unexplored silence of hills
i am boldness laughing out loud
i am courage voraciously devouring
everything

we circle each other
eyes sparking irrepressible glee
Impudent smiles flash, then dart and dive…. down
and from deep within our gratitudes rise and kiss
suspended on a string of midair
a crystal ball pulsing rainbows
turning on the axis of ceaseless time

it is here I know that daring greatly
is the silken sacred thread woven into the cloth of every skin
it is here I see that searching inside
is the perfect place to begin
