You

You rise like warm bread at my touch
as I knead your skin
You are like fresh squeezed wine
teased from a vinyard
The promise carried in your scent
that you will improve with age

Your heart beats with my heart
A pulse within me
You are the blood in my veins
My breath, my essence
The dedication of your love steady
Like the rhythm our bodies share

You are the sunrise over my mountains
rays charessing my lands
Your hands explore my body with fascination
Strangers in a strange place
The paths they trace bold, sensual
Until our continents merge

You are the singularity in my universe
the unity of all things pure
You are the light in my darkness
The emissary of all things good
You are the thing that I long for
Even when I have you
My beloved.
