Do's and Don'ts

Don't fall in love with me
for that fall could be fatal
for fears dominate falls:
fears of falling through
the void into nothingness!

It's like clutching a cloud
and missing the sky above;
a state that's diminishing:
too timid to tell the tale
of the transitory truths
of life itself.

Once you begin circling
endlessly in the eddies
of passion and agony,
who could release you
from your perfect prison
produced by your untamed,
uncontrolled, unattended,
unrestrained heart?

How will you handle
these uninvited emotions:
feeling mad, sad
and glad all at once?

Rise in love with me instead
cutting clean through the clouds
soaring smoothly unto the sky
soaking in celestine sounds
smelling the sweet scents
of serene sobriety.

Penetrate into my sacred space
roaring rapidly with the rising wave
of life, of death,
floating freely
feeling fully
what life is
and isn't.

For separateness and connectedness
arise together and make
the other possible.

Let's be lovers injecting breath
into each other's emotions:
for it takes two to know one --
now don't ask me
"which one"?
