Let me write on your skin (oh, this touch!)
my breath will be the ink...
let me ramble and play the strings
in the chambers of your heart,
allow me to feed you my love's milk
and offer you to rest in the home of my breast’s silk.
You are playing with the hem of my skirt
wittingly touching solace to the tender spots on my wounded knees,
my broken necklace’s beads with your fingers flirt,
our bodies almost invisible in the deep shadows of trees
in front of us an open book, I close my eyes to read it clear,
the world is green, as if it has been just born,
the crystal luster is the burning sun, exploding stars settle the sky,
our palms, white twins, collect the light.
Your fingers draw an enso on the ground,
nature answers you with a soothing sound.
in the middle of perfection we sit on the land,
tied with a sprout of wild curling grape,
our hearts are one, connected eyes, hand to hand,
from lips to lips the behest comes... Agape, Agape...
Author notes
Agape (Pronounced ä-gä'pay) is Love, selflessness, and a model for humanity. “Agape has to do with the mind: it is not simply an emotion which rises unbidden in our hearts; it is a principle by which we deliberately live”.
Enso: "Circle of Infinity, Circle of Simplicity, Circle of Beginnings, Circle of Endings. Emptiness with Fullness, All things visible, All things unseen. To End and To Begin---the Circle of Life."
behest – (Old English) promise, an earnest of strongly worded request
