i little comprehend the beauty of the moths that grace my window
i open it
they fly into the candle as i sit still

i get real upset cause i’m a man with much respect
connected to the world around me
growing deep in every breath

express the dialect of the lion sect
within the motions of a silent gesture
extend my hand until they’re flying next to the flesh

burning as i try to separate the wings from the flame
singeing my mane
singing the name of something holy

then accepting the pain
flexing boldly
recollecting verses that a stranger told me

he said
“listen closely
there’s many tests
for u it’s mostly mental discipline
u got to concentrate to let the visions in
even if it means letting go of pain u witnessing
every living thing has a destiny it’s fitting in
from beautiful moths to wretched citizens
even if u hear the thoughts they’re whispering
wings charred and sizzling
exhale and bring it in”

my hand lingering
finally withdrew from the space around the flame
where the moths were pulled again and again to incinerate

better save my strength for a more significant date
when we travel at a more extinguishing rate

eyes closed
began to meditate
just then a breeze on my face

opened an eye
saw a translucent butterfly approaching swift
gliding soft
she came to rest on my lips

so long
since i felt ur butterfly kiss
so long
since i felt ur butterfly lips
so strong
when we share a butterfly kiss
so long
until the next butterfly kiss

i know the old saying
if u love then let it go
and if it’s meant to be, it comes back

two halves inseparable
components of a measurable whole
alignment
symmetrical atop the pedestal soul
refinement
of holy unknown electrical hold
exchanging currents

although we’re nervous
in our hearts there’s reassurance

we walk with purpose
signs in the sky
observe with urgence

emergence is our deepest service

when we breathe and step out
from behind the curtain with our chests out
searching
inside we feel the earth spin

then become eternal virgins
when we touch for the first time
we get so hot that light is curving

that’s the certainty of spiritual puberty

magnetic effects of gravity wrapping me into your density
it’s all energy rapidly disseminated
our sensitivity is elevated
movements are orchestrated in this symphony

we adorn our hair with live epiphanies
expand rhythmically
crescendo infinitely

echo from tranquility’s sea
as we learn to play the organ
skin’s intended to be

see, only love can ever set us free
there’s nothing else to accomplish
life ain’t a contest

and i’m your proud accomplice
in context of supreme goddess
the supple flower that doesn’t drop a petal despite the harvest

in subtle hours
we walk the edge of the blade to find the sharpest convergence
there we meditate the razor’s surface
contemplate the steps that take a conscious mind the furthest

before i see u receive this word kiss
a testament to purest sentiments
sealed beneath the letterhead
inscription
royal penmanship
listen

if there ever is a time u feeling lonely on ur own
play this song and know i’m with u
u can never be alone

so long
since i felt ur butterfly kiss
so long
since i felt ur butterfly lips
so strong
when we share a butterfly kiss
so long
until the next butterfly kiss
