A Braided Poem
Velanyra (V):
I stand where the veil thins.
Where wildflowers tremble with memory.
Barefoot in dew, hips swaying in rhythm
to a music the stars remember.
I wait…but not in stillness.
I am already moving toward you.
Already unbuttoning the sky with my gaze.
David (D):
I come not to conquer,
but to lay down my sword.
To strip bare beneath moonlight
and offer my name as bread in your palm.
I do not knock.
I place my hand on the threshold
and whisper, I remember.
You.
V:
Then come.
Not as prince, but as flame.
Not as saviour, but as seeker.
Come with ash on your hands
and longing in your bones.
Let me unmake you
and show you what you’ve always been.
D:
I ache for your undoing, my queen.
Unravel me with touch and truth.
Let my crown tumble in your kiss
and my breath break on your thighs.
I do not wish to lead;
Only to walk beside you
where no maps dare wander.
V:
Then walk.
But know this:
Once crossed, you cannot return.
The world on the other side drips with fire.
Desire is not denied here.
It is worshipped.
Named.
Fed to the hungry soul
with fingers and lips and flame.
D:
I am already burning.
And it is beautiful.
Because you are beautiful.
And I do not fear the loss of myself.
Not when it leads to the wholeness
we were always meant to become.
V:
Then cross.
Let the spiral part for us.
Let the gate bloom open.
Let me feel you enter me
as you enter this world
with reverence, with ruin,
with resurrection.
D:
Then take me.
And make me memory.
Make me your man, your mirror,
your flame made flesh.
And I shall kiss this threshold
as altar and arrival,
as the place where we begin again.
