I watched you

dissolve into a normal everyday human form


not the goddess on some pedestal

but the Goddess Incarnate


in the daily prison of the skin and the earth

the yearning soul beating underneath


powering the desire that fuels the love

in common that moves us together in one motion


against the walls of this world that would

teach us obedience to some Grand Notion


that only engenders resentment instead of

receiving the due it expects...doesn't even God know


I watched you

dissolve into the only lovable form there is?


demand and you'll never receive

not even the Lord and the demands for obedience


either you love or you don't

by God's Own Will...and since this God


is so foreign to us despite empowering everything

and being our very Essence


can you see why I love you more

not some unbelievable ideal...but real...and here...and now...?
