CRAVING DESTINY

“…… Our hearts and our minds
they’re one and the same
cause you are my kind.”
~~ Santana, featuring Seal (from the album “Shaman”)

Long ago I came to see
how I needed you so;
how the gate and flow
of your textured red legs
would bend and go
on forever filling my mind
with world conquering adventure.
Your lava breath dialectics
entwined with desire’s
passioned wild fires
craving destiny’s
grandest glories, carving
paths, seeking heights
where air is crisp, clean,
warm to the touch,
where soul dreams awaken.

I think I was somehow
always searching for you,
for the tangled darkness
in your woman’s scent,
the redness of musky mystery
that all is knowable
if you dare to be true;
never fearing where openness
will lead you.
Or, willing to see the
beauty of human beings.

Long ago I was aware
of my love, my flare,
my need to breathe in your air
so that in your truth
I am able to find,
“…you are my kind”.
