Poetry list
rainbow love
the heavenly arch
the bow of primal colour
the promise
the covenant
flesh is loved
created by love
and capable of
love in its
intimate union
heaven and earth
are one and
eclipsed in eternity
this death and
darkness takes each
one of us into
union and communion
ecstasy and extinction
born again into a
light and joy that
can never be notated
or spoken it is
the spectrum of all
unknowing and the
moment of conjunction
salvation’s promise
imprinted in more than
dust the warm blood of
the passion where we are
subjugated and
obliviated by the
being and the friendship
of neighbour is critical
in this journey
signified and enabled
by the overarching colours
that take our binary
black and white into
the diversity of the loss
that holds and bestows
fulness and fulfilment
in which we are
emptied and filled
satiation that is none
other than divinity
