Meditation and Wedding Prayer

Once upon a time I loved you and the sea, the sea. but the souls were lighter then, untroubled by dark deeds. Our love sang The stars shine, and the sea, the sea. How many hundred years have passed since then, how much suffering and death and stars. Where have the souls been for so long? We hold shivering hands in silence. We look deep into the questioning eyes. The stars and the sea are still singing, the sea. But the past of the human soul is incredibly eternal. In your room I found my place.

In your room I know who I am. I lie in your bed for days and snuggle my body against you. Feel the days change and the calendar on the sheets that are freshly prepared for us. Sometimes I'm silently amazed at the bed railing, how heavenly laughter one conquers time. Sometimes a sound rises from distant streets below to our feather cloud space. We sleepily wrap it in the colorful tapestries, made of kisses, love, dreams.

Carnation Wedding

Where the ruins of old beauty shimmer like marble, a pale and lovely psyche wriggles in the marble stones. In torment and love she bows to invisible whippings. Lying on tender knees, snuggling close together. Half pleading, half patient, she bears shame and knows how guilty she asks her looks of pain. Do you love me? and can you hit me? Should Olympus greet you, poor Psyche, you will have to pay!

Eros, who seeks and torments you, wants you blessed and purified. You dear god of the sweetest lust on earth, the most beautiful goddess beautiful son! Come teach me the art of being loved. I already know the easy art of loving. Come too and make Phyllis laugh, Cythere, teach her, because Phyllis knows the art of making love. She doesn't know the easy art of loving.
