More Than the Scales of Justice

Here , along the mountains
of our potentials, I
will climb the Yes of you.
That cartography that
makes me dizzy with new heights.

In the instrument that is your
softness in the night, my
fingers scale an octave
from note to note, until the
music glistens in moonlight,
like scales of the sacred Salmon,
Its Wisdom untasted until
I draw the tones of
each note that you have given me.
I wrap them with my own desires
and climb with them as comrades
to the top of yes
and in trembling moments,
Yes again. Can you hear
The affirmation of our
atonements to the gods for
Finding more within
Each other than they,
Wherever they are, can
Derive from their power?

If I scale beyond the limits
That Self can absorb, and you
With me, then let the gods
Fill the empty space themselves

As we,wrapped in each
Other, bring sound and
Ecstasy to a new universe.

You can write lovemaking into such poetic music my darling man, that makes my heart sing.

And may the Gods learn not to spoil our lives with their jealousy should we happen upon a fragment of what they wish. A balance must be kept -
