Beyond
Beyond the sky, all the way
to where together becomes one
and pleasures are outdone
by fascinations.
No clothes nor masks
were worn to cover bodies and faces
when her shining eyes
became his steady star
warmed by skin to skin sensations.
But, beyond that sky of satin sheets
and pillows of community
he cried of loneliness
and begged for love-words, written.
Yet, his inner voice sighed
when, by virtue of her lies
his star fell from her sky
dropping sadly, in on him.
Beyond all this darkness
an eastern light transcended his fallen star.
Enlightenment followed
lifting his consciousness
and filling his heart with acceptance
of things the way they are.
Peace became his smile
and words flowed like laughter
from the lips of his voice within.
Beyond the window of his singular world
waiting in the folds of un-stretched time
slings of bygone fortune and arrows of love aligned.
That universal moment of blinding light
combined with two hearts primed
set off a domino chain;
broke loose his past, uncertain mind
freed his lips and naked eyes
and propelled this unveiled star to shine
within the blue-serene of his future sky.
