From The Ruins

We are tuned to the same frequency
of fear, and small failures..of love
being captured by force, over and over,
until there is nothing left to give freely.
Because we want what is sacred..
the depth of it...the long years of being
one soul in the coupled robes of our flesh.
Because we share the same false history
of hiding behind our pain, the same story
in a language beyond translation.
A language beyond fear.
Tell me, please tell me...
how it feels to be you.
I know that we share the same star,
the same heaven.
Your pulse whispers through my veins...
the same blood-dreams, the same violent rush
to remember the true, uncensored self.
Your dreams are in my eyes,
like blind stars I can not name
or know without you.
It is the same journey.
Apart, we are fools, faithless,
false effigies of earth and clay.
Together, we are one, we are sacred.
Together we build temples
from the ruins of the day.
