moist hour
dancing with my spirit under the fecund moon
behold the birth of true love
amid the suffering
bold and beautiful like the rising sun
you ‘re my living flower of choice
my flame of delight
mixed with the divine diet of laughter
the heart sings of love under
the rose petals
blessing my days forever
you ‘re my bird of fortune foretold
the sweet waters
of desire flowing through my veins
