Sweetly, swooning, he laid me down, adored my being into morning Baptised in his sighs I bloomed under soft caresses Sacred bird song echoed round the clock face and stars gazed upon us, smoldering Lustrous shine glared white there was a stirring in my spine tender kisses within, without, our gods meditatedΒ on pleasure Tears rolled lash to dimple in hushed prayer and with quiet thanks he received my offering Our words too human, our bodies left behind I was delivered Eyes closed and breath steady goosebumps flowed over flesh, we consecrated this place The rosette center of my labyrinth unfolded and thus I saw, he had been sleeping sound in my petals
