That I had opened to Lise
means the hand of God can move there.
This dark eyed woman who captures me so;
I want to look deep into the mystery of it
for life is made more of this,
the spaces between men and women,
than of anything else.
In the darkness there I will find everything
I’ve wanted to learn.
Just as I’ve found the warmth of her heart
and the musk of her inner thigh
so can I find more
by accepting everything God offers
through her.
Come, dark eyes, come and burn me down again.
Come, with your mystery and your love,
with your mother’s heart and your lover’s passion.
Come with love ascending … or departing.
Love me or hurt me, cherish me or scorn me.
Today God’s hand moves through you
and I will listen to Him
through this love, yours and mine,
until I can rise to the dance no more.
