A heart opening in gratitude and overflowing with love
Softening your heart to me
As I begin within your sight
To blossom as the beauty
Of a prayer taking flight
And as the petals open
There is nothing left to hide
My nectar is unfathomably
Bare to your delight
You taste it at my heart
And you are nourished to your soul
The fountain of my holy water
Always is your home
And you can rest your hand
Upon the wall that holds the flow
And let your fingers dabble
In the soft and rosy glow
I offer you to gorge upon
The fountain at my core
To dip your head within her:
Soft, embracing, wholly warm
You lift your head to breathe
Having been sanctified and blessed
As you rest a while upon
The sacred pillow of my breast
I offer you to come to me
And rest a while inside
The holy law simplicity
Would never choose to hide
The sanctifying ardour
Of the heart that flower be
Eradicating meaningless desire
From its dream
And as we sit together
With our hearts abreast, in time
The memory of peace
Is clarified and realigned
I feel you moving into me
Our bodies are combined
The tissues that ensconced us
Giving way to the divine
I rest upon your shoulder
All my hesitance forsake
As I recognise eternity
In every breath we take
I have found my refuge
In the blossoming heart that yields
A reservoir of treasures
Flowing from the love that heals
