he has brown eyes, maybe hazel perhaps blue or green

when you become wild, and the living part is issued forth
with abandon
the blood will flow and burn with the alacrity of starlight
you will hear wraiths of words begging for attention, your temple
will resound, a division bell, you will tremble with a vibration far from the
world you leave behind, your footsteps heavy with poignancy,
your heart insatiable with the breath of a new found lover,
you will knock first then break down iron gates stinging with the
salt of your tears, coming home, you and I are always
coming home

you will look into the distant mirror and wonder what happened to your
eyes, you will ask yourself about colour and reflection but you
won't really care for your power is almighty and you trifle not it
away, you have mists hovering around your shoulders and your hair
is white as snow,
you are a living mountain, you are the rage of angels
embattled with the will of a thousand melodies playing
a hollow flute inside the waterfall of your being,
hidden notes of yourself rise, you are a haunting violin grasping
my heart, a thin red line
you write
and now you know you only
write to yourself, everything becomes you and you empty
the sand from your sandals though you have never walked
even one step.

Here we meet.

Let me parse this out and

Let me parse this out and try to understand it: There seems to be 3 parts: "When you become wild, and the living part is issued forth with abandon" is Part One. In Part Two, a lot of things happen. In Part Three, "we" meet. So for me, the first question is: When do "you" become wild? I'm going to guess that it's when "you" fall in love, without thought or reserve or fear - with abandon. But that's a guess. Of the things that happen in Part Two, "you" could be Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" - with heavy boots of lead - or one of the Hindu gods like Shiva the destroyer, who clears a path for Brahma the creator. Maybe even Kali, the goddess of time and change - the ultimate reality. Oh, I like that one, but I'm going to go with the love theme, and guess that "you" is in love, made powerful by love, and energized to godhood by unbound passions. And here's where we meet. In Part Three, the nexus of it all. The eye of the storm. Where two lovers dwell. Am I close?

AHA!

Hello Kali, Pleased to meet you, the ultimate reality. Why do I hear the click, click, click as you mark time in eternity? So now I'm researching Ashana. I found a singer by that name: http://www.ashanamusic.com/ but I can't find what the name refers to. Beautiful music though. For healing, relaxing and joy? Why yes, I think so. A perfect soundtrack for you, as you spin the universe, as stars collide and create new worlds. death and birth existing as one. Kali - the god within me recognizes the god within you. Namaste.
