DEEP

My hands reach into the clear blue sky,
Grasping the light and pulling it into my very being
The winds carry me higher and higher
I ascend
My whole being dissolves into the heat of the sun
Drowning in the pulse of life
I am reborn in you shadow

Call me to your side
And I shall answer you with my eyes
You can hear my silent words
Let me be within you as you lie within me
My very soul has risen in reply
Feel me, feel my heat surrounding you
My life pulsing and drawing you deeper
Move with me, follow me,
To be as wild horses in an open dessert
Where there are no boundaries

My fingers trace the life that flows within you
My lips caress your skin so smooth
I open myself to take of you
Knowing that I will not rest
Needing you around me,
Needing you inside me
Your very strength absorbing and absolving me

Fill my cup with your pleasure
That I may drink and taste of you
I savour every given drop that flows between my lips
I rise again to weave a wordless tale
That will carry you to distant shores
Where time is lost and all is oneness
Deep, Deep inside of me.
