Poetry list
marriage
till
a word fixing us in
time and looking to
a limited future just
when we empty ourselves
into the other and become
no more save in union
death
is the finishing
post for our minds and
senses yet we have never
existed except in mystery
so dying self has begun
unrecognised and unrewarded
separation speaks the
agony of eternity and
union which makes
us
the forever and renders
the survival of ego impossible
never alone always lost in
the other where self falls
away into the abyss
of sublimation and
the plateau of holy
rapture here there is
stasis and a void that
fills each created moment
do
is the action and
initiative that destroys
and saves bringing me
as us in the dynamic
fusion of time
and nothingness
where each and every
part
is component and
separation life and
death the marriage of
contradiction and the
union of flesh and
spirit
