Her Abundant Heart and Honey Love

Her Abundant Heart

Honey Love

This is what it feels like,

when the Goddess awakens within me,

as I understand her to dwell in every woman,

when you have surrendered your hard defenses,

and I hold you in my arms, vulnerable at last,

finally weeping and courageous in your capacity to feel,

and from my human heart

such a holy river comes to flowing,

with a deep and potent honey love,

in wave upon succulent wave,

flooding and making moist

all the crevices of my being,

the eternally forth-coming pulse

of Her loving of you.

As  I hold you in my arms,

your body in this moment a universe of suffering,

it is this that She seeks to give to you,

through the singing of my heart,

and for as long as  this honey-love flows,

I will strive to find a way of showing you

that which She longs for you to receive.

Taken

I long for your hunger

to reach in and take me,

awaken me to your heart,

like when you wake in the night

and like a lone traveler in the desert

or a voyager lost at sea

and with unmediated instinct,

you turn and reach out

and take me

as though I were a ripe piece of fruit,

fresh from the tree

and without a word you quench

your parched mouth

at the nape of my neck,

drawing forth the hidden meaning of me

and calling me home to you

as with the full breadth of your hands

you wrap the cusp of my haunches

and drink deeply of me

and I am taken so exquisitely beyond

my own resistance to your love.

In an instance you strip from me

the farce of my withholding

and in that moment I come to know myself

as the long cool drink of the universe.
