I meet her upon giant sandy dunes
above the ever-restless green sea.
As the sun rises, as the sun sets,
so does the love we share upon
the turbulent shores of earth.

We could move mountains
just with our laughter under the moon:
we know a love so deep.
But few, alas, can understand  
and categorized as such a great sinner,
how can she touch the tears of earth?

But I know what I feel,
and how can something that feels so good,
be so wrong? – the old question!
I feel even God must have known hunger
within the flow of her passion;
had to experience, to bear,
temptation – even from her shadow.

And we spend the sultry Summer,
running, laughing, swimming, loving
while the sea tosses as wild as our hearts!
And I know what we share is real
as surely as I know it is not yet to be found
in man’s world and thoughts about love:
for where limits are set upon one’s love,
there, the Goddess energy will not move.

But even if we made our time stand still,
other forces keep the tick-tock going:
the breeze will turn cold,
the leaves change colour,
and the great flocks, crying, pass over;
and she too will leave for another place then,
for these winters are still too cold
and this man’s world has yet to prepare
a hearth of love she could call home.

WindWalker,

This is not too bad.  Remember, if it feels good, do it, it can't be wrong.

I am not big on love poems simply because a great number of them border on "silly" but leave it to you WindWalker to change my mind.

The soothing flow of your words, brought great relief in their message.  This destiny must be dreamed, and in the thought become the deed.  Far more sacred than the surface.  nicely done.
