Seeds of Passion

sound waves of the soul in the moist hour
i melt into
the divine nectar of the beloved

i cross the boundary into
your orbit
devouring the fruit of your essence

two hearts meet in silence
you sow
the seeds of passion in my veins

edible nights of wonder in the secret garden
fecund cells jump
for joy; transforming my longing

like the neurons of destiny
i plant my
cosmic dreams in your heart

lost in the magic fragrance of desire
i drink
a cup of you with lips of fire
