There is a Flame

There is a flame
Deep within my being
That no man’s passion can assuage
It burns blue
Hot as only ice can know
Nestling at the core of my fiery nature

What strange new territory this;
The Relationship Land
Where I find that all the signs and clues
 I once could follow
No longer serve
Where in place of great passion I find
Subtle stirrings of Something different

There is a place where I long to meet 
A place more intimate than
Skin upon skin
A place where my deepest heartfelt truth
Meets yours
Meet me there

At the edge
Dance with me there
Each and every one of You
There is a place
Where I long to be
Your naked truth up close against mine

Yes, meet me there
Clothed in vulnerability
Open to feel not memories, nor fantasies
But heartfelt truths
Let our lovemaking
Be of that hue

More intimate than the deepest thrust
More exquisite than ecstatic release
More touching than legs and arms entwined
In the after bathing of our passion
Yes,
Meet me there

At the edge of the unknown abyss
Of our deepest truths
Create with me the Present
Yes
There is a place I long to be
A place more intimate than the deepest of fucking

A place where I can be all of me
And you be all of you
Together to
Create
A unique flavour of Love
That only you and I can know

I will go inside to meet
Face to face those parts of me
That long to be free
So that I can be all of me
For our meeting on the edge
Of the abyss of our unknowing

Will you go inside too?
And meet those edges in you
That we might meet
Deeper
Than skin upon skin
And nestle in the velvety folds 
of our deepest being?
