Reverence to Love Come watch the rain with me Feel the droplets grace across the window in elaborate arrhythmic steps A thousand small fingers blending into a lyrical flow of tears An infinitely varied reverence to love Struggling against an affliction of solitude I am endless nothingness without you Obscure solemn moments stretch over a vortex of uncertainties My pallid soul a frail fragment of spiritual illumination I know your heart I know your needs A loosely woven intricate pattern of desires Secrets burnt to ash Come with your puzzlements Come with your heart Summon me into being My sorcery drifts like a flickering nimbus of shadow Wordless elegant chants Conjuring the essence of your passion Intricate ornate gestures Revealing the depth and dimension of my love A divine presence wavers precariously in the dusty opaque light With an unconfined wordless breath I unfold my passions before you Tongues meet and linger Lips delight skin Take in all the extravagant sensations of touch
