A Dare

I dare you to stand naked before me

and not be blown apart

by the sheer need to dematerialize

and join again with me whole

Stand there and look at me

Drink me as the heart drinks blood

I have known you my whole life

Without knowing you at all

Secretly kept the fire alight 

the dream that love made is love created-

Real

Exists

Now not only within the Mona Lisa smile
defining the sky of this room
divining

as naked I sit

still in front of you

And watch you disappear into being
