A CHOCOLATE DIPTYCH 

Out there in the world we encounter all shades and shapes and flavors; and the variety might be tempting if one fails to recognize the value of what‘s right here…
Right here
In my heart
I know
I have all I need.
I have you.
Deep and dark and true
Intense, complex,
Sometimes tannic, sometimes sweet,
Layered, luscious, ambrosial, complete.
Sumptuous and scrumptious,
Exceptional,
Delectable.
I take you
Into every inch of me.
~ Heaven ~
Hold on!
This passion, this obsession, this commitment to the “we “
Promises to be
Sensual, artisanal,
Synchronously bittersweet.
A love affair.
Or a box of chocolates.
*Both collages were made entirely of chocolate packaging and Sharpies©

I AM the Creator.
The Creator? He is me.
Together we developed
This form
Of divinity.
A spark of life,
The journey’s strife,
Each lesson learned therein,
Uncover beauty unrevealed
Yet nestled in the plan.
I AM divine.
I do create.
You, too, conspire with me.
Together
We
Essentially
Create Eternity.
And we’re doing a damn good job.

Restless
And the truth is
That the day has just begun
Time to do it all remains
There’s much yet to be done
Opportunities present
Live, love, give
Soothe
Be balm
In the midst of chaos
Choose.
Create the calm.
Begin within.

THE PATH?
LIFE EMBRACED?
LOVE IS?
LEGACY OF LOVE?
LOVE ENDURES?
NURTURE?
NEW BEGINNINGS?
LOVES CREATION?
What would you call it? What does it say to you? Let me know!

Seems I’m delving into the dark side…

We take it all so literally. Let’s consider the story metaphorically, universally…
It’s iconic.
Ironic.
This repeated passion play.
I could prostrate myself,
Allow your scourge to freely flay.
It would not be enough.
You’d come back another day.
Angry.
I could struggle through the darkness
Of our shared Gethsemane,
Let you revile, defile, deny me.
It would not be enough.
You still would fail to see.
Resentful.
I could walk to Golgotha,
Accept your jabs and barbs,
Wear your crown of thorns.
It would not be enough.
You’d still want more.
Vengeful.
I could climb the mount to Calvary,
Hang there upon the crux,
Naked, mocked and doomed.
It would not be enough.
You’d rub salt in my wounds.
Righteous.
It’s useless, this processional, repeated passion play.
Then, Aha!
Perhaps the change to make’s not yours,
But mine.
Okay…
I’ll completely shift my focus.
Look inside.
My will be thine. ‡
*Footnote: Here’s the thing… I let it, allowed it, chose it. Freely. Now that’s ironic.
