A living stream, he said

Will burst forth

Like sap-flow

Blood for you

This resin making clean

Pure-burning, resonating

An ember glow

That will not die

This love I have for you.

 

 

The soft wool sky

Warm honey skin

Smooth-armed encircling

Deep water of eyes

Soul-safe harbour

Kept from trespass

Sweet in step

Known beyond words,

The truth of you

The sound perpetual

Triumph of angel-war and everyday

A great submission

Flee fear,

Unneeded here

The dissolving haze

Our sun-seeking gaze.
