A poem for my Beloved

You are the air that I breathe...
the water that I drink...

the sun in my eyes...
the rain on my face...

I lay face down on the desert sand...
Desperate for a relief for my parch dry soul...

release me from my chains...
the drone of the flesh...

your love is a spring upon my soul...
the fountain of youth that tingles my lips...

need is a word too shallow for You...
desire is a flame too dim for You...

I lay down with my face to You...
waiting... longing... yearning...
For You.
