Which House?

I see you live
the life you have been
given
gifted with
The life that melded with mine
in many ways

Seeing you move towards me
Seeing you move away
Wondering what challenge your mind has birthed 
this time
Your allure to the frenzy of denying 
yourself

Life is only a challenge if you allow it to be

Plain and simple
Torture and ecstasy
live right next to each other
Which house do you enter?

Perhaps you have found an elusive ecstasy
within your torture
Over and over, the rise and the fall of the
chase...the capture
and then the horrid crash
as you realize what you have allowed
into your life...real love
The fear of the reveal halts you..again

and I see "you" no longer

Keep yourself in your cage, poor soul
if you must

LOVE!
so complete, so simple
with out walls or windows
open and free
The truth of ecstasy unencumbered
too painful
for one who
lives in a cage named
denial

You have tasted freedom
it tasted like
the dew kissed berry just picked
from the top of a mountain
paradise 
Enters your mouth, awakening all senses

You tasted me
Ecstasy unencumbered

Plain and simple
Torture and ecstasy
live right next to each other
Which threshold do you cross?
