Heart's Thirst

Search:
For the soul whose  love scent
will quench your heart's thirst,

yes those touches
that you can take in gulps
till you burp

that smile that stops
time in its tracks
and has you cemented
in the moment,

Search for that golden garment
that you can drape your breaths in through every season,

That beautiful mind
that will raise you up
when you fall from reason,

That believer whose
heartbeats dye your senses
In the fluorescent flame of faith

But before you hold your breath
and fall to a love starved death

Unearth the fact that:
he is animal first
that she is animal first
that you are animal first
And when we stand bare
religion is a robe
faith a hidden ruby
and inward perfection a pearl
in the furthest depth
of the skin's oceans

The truth of one's true character
Has the ability to hide
Even from oneself
Only rubies reflect light
And very few
open the pot of stew
That enables them
to reflect and chew
On what they heart
chooses to eschew

Let your patience and prayer
Penetrate the surface of that soul
Because unlike fireworks
Faith does not flash in the eyes' sky
It is not a tangible light

so call on the animal first
for when its mask falls
the forest roars
restless-ness will gnaw
at your bliss
And a minute of life
Will feel like a thousand
Dreadful life times

so match your self to your
species go for the jugular
catch captions of the echoing ego
before you promise your Lord
That by the love you
so sincerely searched  for
and have now finally found
you will love For Love's sake
and never forsake,
That you will give
without wanting to take...
That you will remain the
light of your love
Even when love leaves you dark

Do not be lead:
by the light of lust
For every fire that burns
is humbled by dust

Do not be guided
by a growing greed that guides you
to clench the luxuries
of the world in your fist
Ask yourself how many lives
lay resting in the world's wide fist

If you measure your match
and dissect your catch
you stand that rare
chance of confirming your love batch

That awesome abundance
from up above
your hand in glove
your heart
in a heart that loves.

But if within yourself
You find fault in what
Fate placed before you
Look again deep within you
Remain true to you
And decide on
What best nourishes your light
Even if every decision
you find feels like an incision
upon your heart

For every millisecond served to you
Is a sacred treasure
Once taken cannot be returned
Once your beating heart is taken
It can never be returned

Love with your heart
anchored in Love
Live with your breaths
returning to light
Then not only will
your life become a light of love
You will become the love of Light
