My heart is the Atlantic
or any great body
a balance of storm and calm sea
My love is a warm breath of wind
that shakes at the bounty of your tree
My love is a root of May seed and sod
the blood of bud and Autumns bloom
My love is midnight's lamp
a light beam of noon sun
hunting for you
My love is a harvest
the heart in your hot mouth
My love is a satellite
among the constellations of the south
My love is a fire
of kissed limbs and sapless spine
the feverish red beginnings of you and I
My love is gospel truth
in its white-topaz chapel of amber and gold
My love is of Earth's perfume
and oceans song
born from beauty's ethereal mold
