my love..
dark maiden..
yet fairest muse.
you are The One..
who truly heard
my deepest truth.
you blindly saw
the sacrificial pyre
burning for you
in my heart.
and the aroma
of its smoke
felt oh.. so.. near you.
even from afar.

the heat
I brought upon you
did not frighten..
and the relentless waves
upon my surface
never did misguide you.
because you felt the currents
of my blind devotion..
flowing through the depths
of this tempestuous
and stormy ocean.

we took the leap..
we dove head-first..
we’ve learned
to love each other
at our best
and at our worst..
of course, we’ve yet to write
the rest of it, so far..
but still,
I swear to love you blindly..
love The All of you..
for the sublime
and wicked deity
that you are.
