Shelter
I love
your mouth
your lips that shape the contour of it
the way your eyes are
while and after
how you
hold me into you
coupled
fingers stretched taut gliding along my stomach
just the right pressure
prolonging
that which is to come
and in between there is
your breath on mine
close and giving
all that living
our beings do
in passionate embrace
my hands cup your face
defining time and space
a world there
many of them
all
exploding into infinities
becoming again
energy and light,
I nest my nose into your nape
and along to your shoulder
rest there
take in your scent
run my mouth
over those tiny little hairs
down your spine
and around
to that place of romance
where I worship
where your rose blooms
open to my touch
as in heaven
so it is below,
I am like chinese rockets in a ferny glade
you the sun shining through
giving life to my warming blade
we surrender into our everything
how I love you
and love you
and love you
