Carnality
Yin and Yang
Night and Day
The Heat of Summer, the Cool of Fall
The Cardinal, The Adaptable
The Passion of Water, The Sensual Embrace of the Earth
Bound and Free, enraptured and denied
Who in secret, secret lips confer affections; gives succor and life to limbs withered without touch
So separated; a microcosm of Life and Eternity, separated by The Void are their hearts
Taken, filled and blest
With rosy endowments showering The Lunar Child
Mercurial Nature set aside, all redoubts shattered for affection
Waiting, steady, clinging to every breath
As if it were the last
Shaken, desires not lost, but trepidation causes flight in face of truth
For before the foundation of the world
Was the ordained pair meant
and in secret, it rumbles the storming night sky, the beating of the heart
and of souls phyiscally linked, and yet
Carefully divided, that the mind is driven to insanity for reality is oft so cruel
the story is told like a rising crescendo of the pianoforte
consciously considering careful eyes that might betray
Their secret, the secret liturgy
The Communion of souls and The blasphemous shell
Forgotten, and yet recalled
only by whose eyes, in secret
The secrets of two whose secret words charm
and by one's secret lips confess exultation
Through the probing of another
Night and Day
They are bound
Summer and Fall
They are free
And yet, enslaved by the carnality that betrays them...
The soul unfillful shall die, and know an emptiness
For all their vanity, shall Night never come
They are lost to time for the memory
Seeking...knocking...Asking
But never again to know the answer
