I AM…

Because Every Constituent part that makes me Human covets, aches, and burns to be with You.

Because You have wiped all of the sleeping dust away from my dreaming, mythical, ethical eyes.

Because You have broken my heart and stripped me down to a single note of underlying painful beauty-

I AM…

Because You have coerced me to court you in my thought, in my prayer, in my dream, in reality.

Because You have taught me that True Love can dissect Time, Death, Logic, Laws, and Ego.

Because You have recited to me in harmonious whispers - your secrets, your knowledge, your arcane love -

I AM…

Because I have never set eyes on you, yet I always have had you moving and dancing deep within my body.

Because You have kissed my soul and tasted all that I have ever been and desired in this life of mine.

Because , Because, Because … You Seduced Me, Murdered Me, Opened Me and Eternally Adore Me-

I AM.
