Love's Chalice: A Journey Within Eyes



"Your soft kisses transport me, beloved,
To spheres of bliss yet unexplored.
Your lips impart rapture untold,
That sets my weary soul soaring.

Your beautiful eyes, windows to your soul,
Reflect the light of our bond.
In them, meaning and purpose, I behold,
A compass in seas turbulent and arcane.

To lose myself in your eyes divine,
Is to be lost in love's sweet reverie.
Beyond space and time, our souls entwine,
In cosmic dance of unity.  

Your eyes reveal truths ephemeral,
Of journey's end, new paths begun.
In their depths, hopes unrealized dwell,
And darkness conquered by the dawn.

Such mystery and wisdom abide,
In soulful eyes that pierce the dark.
There, new realms and dreams reside,
Lit by our love's shining spark.  

To be lost in your eyes -  rapturous quest!
Through Love's looking glass, Self transcended
Boundaries dissolve, burdens laid to rest,  
As past and future splendidly blended.

In your eyes, beloved, I discover  
Undreamt-of lands, rich tapestries unwoven
Here, we walk as one, you and I, lovers
Journeys begun, promises unbroken.

My love, in your eyes new worlds unfold
maps to undiscovered places within
where present and future merge, untold
heart's wisdom awakened, our journey begins

Your eyes reflect our bond beyond words
true compass homeward when lost at sea
in their light, our merged soul soars as birds
to transcend the bounds of you and me

O eyes that unveil life's Mystery!
What visions, hopes, truths do you yet hide?
Each glimpse draws me nearer, ceaselessly
to wisdom revealed when self has died

To lose myself in your eyes, my love
is to find my truer self within
when two souls unioned fit like a glove
and separation's sorrows dim and thin

Beloved, your eyes are Gateways to the Divine
path to soul's abandoned gifts and graces
in their depths, our spirits lyrically twine
drinking from love's chalice - all else effaces

Soft kisses transport me, your eyes invite
passage to undiscovered realms inside
what glories await beyond masks trite!  
in love's infinite scope, our small selves subside

O eyes whose visions set imprisoned heart free!
Beyond words, your love reshapes my soul  
In waves of grace, we ride love's mystery
to destinies joined, senses made whole.

Beloved, my dreams live in your eyes azure
where ego's chains loosen and fall away
as divine love flows, minds and hearts made pure
to bathe in love's wisdom, not senses' fray.  

Soft kisses and eyes gentle caressing
lift cloak of shadows, reveal soul's true face
in love's beholding, darkness confessing
as hearts unlock, spirits entwined embrace.

O soulful eyes, you pierce love's silence
with quiet power beyond thought's constraints
two hearts throb as one, flow and cadence
lovestreams joined, Eternity's domains

Your eyes unravel the tapestries of time
weaving past and future in one vision sublime    
transporting us beyond reason and rhyme   
to love, the heart's country, our true paradigm

Soft kisses lead where language falls short
your eyes' wisdom discerned in love's tender fire
they illuminate realms that words distort
revealing love's truths that the mind can't acquire   

My love, in your eyes, being dissolves 'I'
separated self's fortress gently unmanned
as bodies and souls merge, desires die
and union reveals all life One, lips and hands

To lose myself in your eyes is to find
a purpose vaster than my tiny ken          
when self's torn veil is left behind
and lover and beloved are born again

Soft kisses melt all distance between
your eyes call to adventure and mystic quest
drinking at love's wellspring pure, serene
in waters of grace, hearts doubly blessed"
