Love Poems for the Invisible
Love Poems for the Invisible
They speak of
They speak of enlightenment.
Can darkness
dispel Darkness?
light illumine Light?
O, My Invisible,
you and I know the secret ways.
*******************************
Out of Nowhere
When you first came
I was not prepared.
Lightning flash of love
arriving out of nowhere.
Now you enter more stealthily.
Sometimes you have stayed
the night
and I did not even know.
I still am not used
to your presence.
Lodger who
leaves no sign,
pays no rent.
*****************************
For so many years
How could I have known
this marriage would endure so long.
That you would remain faithful
for so many years.
I think this union
was meant to last.
Year after year,
your secret kisses,
my amazed silence.
***************************
Advaita
Yet why am I surprised
to find you still here
day after day,
year after year.
Lying beside me,
waiting for me to wake.
Stirring in my veins
even before I arise.
Walking where I walk.
You and I both know the
secret:
We are the same.
Two faces,
one body,
two players,
one stage.
This pledge
was made in heaven,
eons ago.
We set the terms
ourselves,
Dorothy Walters
