Essence of the Personal Life
(n169)
.
perfume is a love affair,
the change of senses
from earth to heaven
.
touch is a lover's road,
that stirs divine creation
from heaven to earth
.
song is an angel's prayer,
sounds of ethereal peace
heard from sea to sky
.
hands held, another voice,
language never spoken
(if only a duchess had understood)
.
the room of eternal flame,
lovers lost in a world they know
please do not rescue
.
look deep into the soul,
to find your own
passion's not enough
.
be beast, be angel,
be the other
know only that which is!
.
seek bless'd purity,
(if only a duchess had understood)
.
