My Secret Conversation
In between the night and mornings first light
There is a quiet moment when thoughts of you fill my heart
Never to share out loud, these vision are held soul-captive
My own secret conversation
No one else
In that secret place where I reveal my tender self
Passionate longings give way to visceral imaginations
Life with you,
Love with you,
Death with you
Every detail colored in the magic of our deep sharing
Even the ground beneath our journey reaches up to kiss you
As I reach out to know you
In between the night and mornings first light
I share openly without fear
And in this twilight conversation you are always here
What I see sustains me in that moment
Lulling me to sleep
To embrace this dream of the night
Maybe someday we will have this conversation
In broad open daylight

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
