Be your own guest -
Walk to your own door
Receive your self with the same passion
you would wait for the arrival of your lover.
Be your own sun
Bask in your own warmth
Feel your insides melt and embrace you
like melting in the hands of your lover.
Be your own moon
Waxing in the madness of your being
Dance to your own tides as the rise and the fall
of you making love to your lover.
Be your own muse
Inspire the corners of your mind to create
nurture, destroy and recreate like you would
trip on the madness of your lover.
Be your own cause
Fight, bleed, look fiercely in the eye of the storm
let nothing touch your reason to live for yourself
as you would die trying for the last breath of your lover.
Be your voice
scream in your art, sing in your paintings, say it in silence
say it exactly as you would mean it
in every aching letter to your lover.
Be your own addiction
increasing the dose with each day passing,
getting high on the possibilities of your being
an endless vessel you are compared to the finite depths of your lover.
Be your own God
worship the divinity in you, but do not fear the Shakti in you
dance to the dervish in you as you would
bow down to your lover.
Be your your source
of all the ecstasy, of all the pain-
be the cause and the healer as you should
be your own lover.
