From Him to Eternity 

One day I saw a black king who introduced me to my shadow

I began to catch the breeze of the Divine in an upstream dance against the current

Earth began to shift and loosen under my feet like landslides

But kisses placed me in skies amongst clouds

Cause my heart was screaming I love you as its rhythm pounded in my chest

Memories of passion so intense had me trapped in purgatory cause I didn’t want no other

Dear God let me rest here for a few lifetimes

Even if praise turns to blues 

I shall cry my tears in a melody that can be sung by angels

With notes that I left on his skin with my tongue

I’m addicted

This high has extreme lows

As shadow meets ego in a tango

Where whores struggle to be monogamous in realistic fantasies

This is life

This is the present moment

This is flip a coin and choose fight or flight

This is a high stakes poker game where everyone is in an elusive disguise

Lay those cards on the table and risk it all as he parts your seas

Pray to the gods that the mystic’s cards were right when their images said stay

Stay in the frightening place and grow roots to your new self

For he just came to teach you that self-love is love in its highest form

That gray produced by co-mingling of black and white is revelation

That awakening from dormancy is enlightment

That you are indeed cleopatra and twin flame

That you are his peace and he brings you joy

That life without love is empty and fullness is like warmth wrapped around your shoulders

Is that alright?
