The Awakening

In the early dawn of happiness

you gave me three kisses

so that I would wake up

to this moment of love

I tried to remember in my heart

what I'd dreamt about

during the night

before I became aware

of this morning

of life


I found my dreams

but the moon took me away.

It lifted me up to the firmament

and suspended me there.

I saw how my heart had fallen

on your path

singing a song

Between my love and my heart

things were happening which

slowly, slowly

made me recall everything

You arouse me with your touch

although I can't see your hands.

You have kissed me with tenderness

although I haven't seen your lips.

You are hidden from me

But it is you who keeps me alive

Perhaps the time will come

when you will tire of kisses.

I shall be happy

even for insults from you.

I only ask that you

keep some attention

on me

The Alchemy of Love

You come to me

from another world

From beyond the stars

and void of space.

Transcendent, Pure,

Of unimaginable beauty,

Bringing with you

the essence of love,

You bewilder me

with your grace.

All evils

transform into

goodness.

You are the master alchemist.

You light the fire of love

in earth and sky

in heart and soul.

Through your loving

existence and nonexistence merge.

All opposites unite.

All that is profane

becomes sacred again.
