Seven Poem by Mari Martin

Our eyes met.
I held my breath.
I was afraid of myself,
afraid of losing myself
in your eyes.
You could not speak.
Your eyes spoke a poetry
as you fell into my gaze.
We both knew how wonderful it felt
to say hello
with such unexpected happiness.


You touched me.
All the softness and passion of lifetimes
flowed through my veins.
I remembered that touch
in my dreams at night
in wonderous thoughts
in the middle of the day.
My heart pounded in my head.
My skin tingled with it's lingering mists.
I could not breathe.
You walked in my footprints
following me blindly.
Your eyes danced with mischief
holding my hand
as if it was a delicate rose.


We gave our hearts
with no question.
We kissed with passions colors.
Our desire burned with craving.
Our bodies slept as newborn babes.
Just the thought of you
brought the sun to shine
in midnight skies.
I was your book of poems.
Life became our togetherness.
We were Love.
Completeness was our world.


In you did I find my reason to be.
Your arms held me in heaven's embrace.
I was a child and a woman in your eyes.
You were a boy and a man in mine.
Our moments of Love
became our garden of Eden.
God smiled.


No moment passed I did not think of you.
Where you walked I followed.
Where I led you walked along.
No more could we exist alone.
We craved giving to each other
the bounties of our hearts.
Mine would not beat
without yours.
I was everything in your world.


Time stood still when we loved.
Not a moment of life was without you.
You fed me when I was starving for you.
I poured the water of desire upon your thirsty lips.
There were no others, only faces.
Our bodies drowned in possession.
I walked behind you
tieing my heart to yours.
Then, you followed giving me your promise
as I vowed, after leaving this life,
to welcome you into God's Heaven
to continue the seven lifetimes of our Love.
Only we existed for each other.
Sweet unsatiateded need.


Now, as I stand with this flame
I yearn to lay with you
upon the stillness
that enfolds you.
Bathed in white
I tremble.
These tears are my memories
flowing into the sacred river of my life with you.

You are my Attraction.

You are my Infatuation.

You are my Love.

You are my Reverence and prayer.

You are the temple of my hearts Worship.

You are my Obsession.

When my lashes at last rest upon my cheeks
holding the last rays of sun in this world
I will walk upon the stars to your waiting arms
and be reborn again.
