The Citadels of Desire

The twin ignition points of life - as we want it to be, are on one citadel each. They work together. Because, ultimately, they are one.

The Citadels of Desire

Where my homage finds not one spot. But two

Where longing is born not once. But twice

Where reason yields to the illogic of want. Again

Where the chaos of routine rearranges into the sudden pattern of pleasure. Repeatedly


When the convergence of music is a river. With two banks

When the sunlight reflects off a point once. And then again

When the ground is wet with possibilities. On both sides

When the towers are rising on the slippery solidity of surrender. Every time


When the prayer fits into your mouth. Always

Where the noise of littleness gives way to the notes of grand grace. Always

When the clock feels lonely because no one is looking at it. Ever

Where logic feels left out because magic never calls. Ever


There's a heaven. Where a rib cage is not about a cage at all

There's a heaven. Where flesh rises to hug the soul

There's a heaven. Where sounds are reborn as music

There's a heaven. Where want wants to become devotion


In that heaven of freedom...

In that heaven of light...

In that heaven of redemption...

In that heaven of glory...

In that heaven of grace...

In that heaven 0f wonder...

In that heaven of touch, smell, taste, sight and sound...

LET MY MEANING BE BORN.
