to Neelam: the blue sapphire flame in my heart
your hand is always in mine
your whispered endearments are my constant
companion
you have never turned your face from me
no matter how many times I have turned from you
now I vow undying love
I meet you in the secret places I used to hide
from you in
I hold you with tenderness I used to reserve for
my pain
I would give you my life and my breath in an
instant
for you are my true love
the one with no form
the one who has never been anywhere, but right here
in the singing of my heart
why fear this moment
when no thoughts come
at last I lie naked
in the arms of experience
why fear this moment
when no words come
at last I find rest
in the lap of silence
why fear this moment
when love finds itself alone
at last I am embraced
by infinity itself
why fear this moment
when judgment falls away
at last my defenses
fail to keep intimacy
