Don’t Fall In Love With A Warrior 15/01/2015 by jamiecatto Don’t Fall In Love With A Warrior As his love will cast such blazing illumination upon you That the darkest edges of your resistance will be etched too vividly for you to ever ignore again. You will be faced with yourself in his reflection, and fixed with his gaze. His care will trigger weeping for all the unloved places that had ’til now been left unheld And you will be faced with your grief and your rage And there will be a melting. But though he’ll never save you from your pain He will sit beside you, matching your breath Supporting you invisibly until dawn rises again Until your ribs ache with the opening Revealing new spaces for your heart to reinhabit. He will call you back to yourself from the caves where you’ve hid Hid your power from the world, and from your self, He’ll plant a question in your soul And demand an answer. Are you ready to love yourself so deeply and be matched in that love? He’ll burn all your maps of the past Dissolving the paths that led us here To fix upon the only moment where love resides Will you surrender to his fingertips? Even when you fear the echoes of your past urging you to escape? For he’ll touch your cheek so lightly that your memories of violence will rise so they may fade. Can you feel safe and powerful without being needed? As he is complete unto himself and knows how to hold himself on his own lonely nights. Can you be held without being grasped? Can you be led without ********** Can you be an equal? When he points to the horizon can you see what he imagines just beyond sight? Will you join him on a journey Deep into your raw and aching hearts To discover treasure and Union and surrender? He will penetrate you to your core Eyes locked Nodding so slowly as he Sees you Held firm. For he’s discovered your hiding places And remains undaunted Patient. He’s seen your crown that you pretended was a veil He’s seen the wounds around your neck transforming into jewels And will never let them take you again To that fire. He waits at the base of the tower Open handed Ready to ride. www.jamiecatto.com
