The love which unfurls as we mount our passion

Sends me into a star-filled sky brightened with sparks

Interspersed with the glimmering flow which ebbs

And throbs from your fullness ... soaking me ...



So I reach up with my arms to welcome you

And the radiance of your beam 

Makes me open up further ... 

As my toes dig below



The earth clings ... and absorbs me ever deeper

I feed upon you from both ends ... 



Light from your rays - widens my focus

And the nutrients below push me up ever higher



I am saturated by your love ...

Take me ... 

Hold me in the shaft of your light



Know - I will continue to grow ...

But I will grow higher for your warmth

Cuddle me in it ... nurture me

Allow me to grow ever higher

And deeper ...



When I reach your arms ... 

I know I will be done ...



For your strength 

Will have made me

The flower -

I need be 



To mark ... 



My soul
