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.

it is the physical sounds of sex with is the affirmation.

and then in them just does not make it for me. The idea behind the stanza is that there is more magic and mysterty etc in physical love than in the gods..bearing in mind that a large number of gods derive their power from one thing or another.

as for scales, I am not perfect..I can be as bad as a punster at times..see my comment to Richard.
