Arsenio Rodriguez - September 16, 2006
Under that old moon of stillness, bathed in her light so golden, so many steps have been taken, so many mysteries unfolded. I have walked again pretending to be what you want me to. These bundles
of impressions, collected as I experienced innumerable forms and situations, are now distilled in this new liquor called me. Every morning it reawakens with the same identification, same definitions, preferences and inner perceptions, uniquely crafted through a cascading kaleidoscope of endless moments.
Quietude for a few instants, reflecting on my nature before I follow the attractors and curved spaces that will still delineate my path upon impact, as impressions express their inertia of centuries against the patterns of the scripted story. Yet I will further unfold, till all is consummate in this arena of gathering and spectacle.
I heard your voice across the ages, explaining, momentarily completing me, in love embraces of intimacy that cannot be forgotten nor explained.
As a child, when I began to unwrap the potentials, I searched so intensely for you my dear, first in caring hands, then in symbols, and I do remember our secret street walks holding hands, and your intimate kisses that I could not understand. Yet I knew somehow, that since times immemorial I had longed for you, that so many times you had crossed my path and I had been dazzled by you and adored you from afar.
This time you kissed me in breeze and revealed your presence so clearly in my heart that I trembled, my form was on fire of genders unrevealed, crisscrossing me in a burning unseen by none except you and me.
Forgetfulness came with mind, so full of thought, all my being clamors now for you, as I fear the loneliness of empty, and miss the caresses that so tenderly you gave. I stumble around but manage to move ahead in drunkenness and bravado, but my passions do not find wholeness in body-mind unions, just passing comfort and uneasiness. Only vacant eyes like mine bounce back, speaking all sorts of inanity, nothing that would quench this scorching thirst.
Confusion grows, filling mental spaces as heart struggles to surface once again to embrace you.
Suddenly I remember those eyes of light, burning in my forehead as penetrating memories archetypal, and I recognize you again somehow. My body shivers and ancient rocks are displaced in the deepest. I rediscover lost continents of breeze and warmth. Unknown silent memories project themselves into the screen of my consciousness like shadows of light, and I know, my Beloved, that it is you again in a new disguise.
I am now walking on your footsteps as you help me tread safe ground amongst the minefields of my own creation. At times I think I know, and venture a step out of synch with yours, and I fall in pain only to look up from my fear and see your extended hand with a lucid smile urging me to hurry back into your footsteps.

I wake up and find this same body, mind, ego, intellect, likes, and dislikes too, dear ARSENIO. I too hear HIS voice across ages completing me.I too search for HIM in all expressions of love, and long for HIM. I am walking on HIS footsteps, and am miserable when my steps are not in sync with HIS. Thank you so much for this lovely piece of literature ARSENIO. Your writing is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. May God bless you always.
Dearest GHL,
You have come to walk with me, Finally! I waited, long past midnight. Every sound and sight, mocked me - tempting me to doubt. It's dark and late, you do not come. And yet, I could sense, I knew - somehow, in this pristine shadow, near the lake I walk so often - I could sense you would come to find me here.
There you appear, and I throwing my arms around you, feeling the moist air that lets me cling to you, and my dew dripping feet, touching yours, mmmm - I feel warm and wanted. Completely embraced and a part of you. mmmmm
Oh delight,
~ Kate

Hi Arsenio
I don't know how you do it eve
Dearest GHL,
You have come to walk with m
Sweet. This is just what I needed this morning. Thanks Arsenio.
Funny, I was thinking earlier today when it was very quiet here. "When I lose myself in the ecstacy of love, who is it that I am loving?" And then I felt the peace of knowing.
Love, Kristin
