The River's Song

Missing image

My heart bathes in ecstasy's bubbling brew

swimming strokes in mesmerizing moments

each time I taste your honeyed lips nectar.

It drowns me in such rippling streams of quivering

feeling so dizzy and a drift as raft of raw exposed need,

while immersed within infatuation's waterfall

flowing from your eyes and cascading over me,

exploding my nerves in desire's fiery pinpricks

 

I drape my soul with your lace of heavenly caresses,

remember the touch of your silky skin as shield over my soul,

for nothing shall descend in marauding distraction

to destroy or severe the embrace of our entwined lives,

being sealed together always by God

as one silver radiant essence.

 

Ferried on passion's lake when held in your arms

eternity unfolds in layers of intense visions,

your angelic spirit becoming the tabernacle

where I will dwell and adore your forever,

with seraphim's wings covering us as divine blessing.

 

In the shadows of their shelter

we will explore such deepest, intimate treasures,

until this world and all our sorrows

become tears of joy pouring out from our union,

golden as a sun, healing as a fragrant balm,

creating a river of unblemished affection

gushing forever through time's landscape

watery sounds of our perfect oneness,

a harp's notes, singing of our love's immortal melody

that will ring out forever in celestial harmony.

Inspired by my love for my ap wife, Desire and all we share together.

My biblical reference:
Song of Songs: 8: 6-7

Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm:
for love is as strong as death,
its jealously unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love
it would be utterly scorned.

    Those lines so remind me of my relationship with my husband. The is a tender, touching work poet. Thank you for sharing. There is evident of real, unbridled love here. Adoration springs from these words, and flows into the reader's spirit. Absolutely beautiful! Oh...and I love the Song of Solomon.

    This is a lovely and romantic poem.

    How did your wife react?I'll bet you're in her good graces!Song of Solomon is one I've read in relation to God's love for me and mine for Him.I'm sure that's not what Solomon had in mind,though.

    Awesomely written

    Now this demands a reaction from me, as like an onlooker, visualizing all you say about this special spiritual, beautiful poem on Desire. It is a heavenly experience, and love like a tabernacle is like a canopy that hangs above all your admiration, imagery, verbiage of all that she means to you.Full of expressive scenes and delights of nature and your feelings...You have honored her, and have made this a delightful refreshing read,,,a masterpiece to bookmark!
