On the white-rose Altar of marriage

With the pursuit of the Divine, we stand

The common-law of foam-vest waters

A surreal substance of our thirst for timelessness

 

A diamond sphere of messenger sails

On the ship whose coast is a golden above

The body, beyond the self, a merging

With some beloved totality, travailing spirit

 

How this ruby-flame Petalled love

Consumes us in the unmanifest

Our heart the offering flower held

To the unbarred lids of some transcendent force

 

Resplendent with the neuro-chemistry of unity

Breaking the barriers of what we once conceived

To be the plan of life and love, mortal stress

Into the fusion of the crag-toothed world with

 

The color of splendor and tragedy of cosmic delight

Where love in blazing speed arrives at the beyond.
