A flowery dervish
With skin like melted caramel
And eyes like a river of chocolate.
Sweet and succulent fragrances
Dance with a crackling fire of passion
...
Your smell intoxicates my senses

I soak in the life pouring out from your pores
And I feel love burn in the cauldron of your vessel.
That love which ignites with a ravenous desire to appreciate
And admire...
So precious,
                 So delicate,
                                       So pure.
                                                                ­   I yearn for time
                                                                ­       To unveil the mystery
                                                                ­   Of our shared connection,
                                                     ­              Yet
                                                             ­     I revel in the invitation
                                                                ­   To be present with the gifts
                                                                ­     Given so freely.
                                                         ­              Time will tell,
                                                                ­         And I have time to give.
                                                                ­     Time
                                                                ­    To simply be,
                                            To simply share,
                                                 To simply delve, hold and release.
Every breath I want
I know I must let go.
And in that same way,
I will always let you go
So that I may welcome you back
With arms of sweet remembrance.

Your joy gives me thanks
