Keep Your Eyes on Me

so deep
in the quiet;
where words are elusive…

the doorway is itself soft,
and excludes nothing.

with eyes wide open,
I purposefully kiss
paradox on its holy mouth;

open
receptive
vulnerable;
willing to see it all
to feel it all...

layer upon layer
veil upon veil
come to rest
as dust at my feet;

revealing
the glowing, sacred fruit
in the bindu…

I stand naked before you,
clothed in naught but my devotion,

nothing is missing,
everything belongs…

in surrendering to see
everything exactly as it is;

I see only you.

such patience and tenderness
as you witness my initiation,

honeyed nectar flows
in the wake of each footstep closer;

one taste of you
enlivens my blood
like a river of remembrance;

and now I can see
in the dark,

your eternal flame burning
in the chamber of my heart,
lighting the way,

as you whisper
"keep your eyes on me"...
