Temple of Lovers

I woke up with my spirit singing; she sang of you...she sang...she sang only your name; she sang only of you...♥

And my soul, she joined in, too...she sang and sang, too...she had to for before my mind's eye, there was only you...only you....♥

My heart has her song, too that she sings; she sings only for you. She sees only your face; for you, she dances at quickened pace...

You awaken every part of me...to singing...to dancing...to the rhythm of...infinite love. In me, you ignite the divine...you woo the inner me.

I love you...

Infinitely, from one life to the next; for all time...the ancient, the present combine.; all of me, every part of me, loves you...

In the middle of my chaotic life, when I think of you, there is silence and peace and everything beautiful I could ever believe to see...

In those moments of silence, there is only me, there is only you, and the divine. Nothing intrudes, nothing interrupts. There is only...love.

Between us, what is there to say? If you could only see my eyes....if you could see my eyes, they would tell you everything.

For I cannot hide from you, my Love. I cannot help but be transparent before you; if you could see my form, it would tell you the truth.

I beg of you...please, my Love, my king...please...see me...the true me...she cannot lie to you...

I am drawn to you today, my Love...like a moth is drawn to the flame of a candle...the candle is you, my Love, and the flame is my desire...

How fragrant you are, my king...knocking at my heart...the dew of the morning in your hair; so beautiful you are...so beautiful.

How many words I want to say to you, my Love...so many words...all are caught in my throat...though I be shy outwardly, my spirit is not...

Did you dare come into my temple, my Love, my king? all the bells starting ringing when your foot crossed the threshold. Do come in.♥

The Love of heaven swirling all around you...wind about your garments...there is none so beautiful as you...I am watching you...I see you. ♥

Who is this man that I would so readily submit to? who are you, my Love? from where did you come? surely, you are divine...my spirit told me.

I watch you as you move, the whole earth celebrating each of your steps. You are radiant, my Beloved...you steal my breath as you pass by.

I am putting my hand out...my hand goes right through you...such is the life of a ghost. Trembling, I back away...I am so in love with you.

My Love, just one small thing I ask...as you proceed through my temple, do me but one kindness, please? touch one of the bells as you leave.

If you do, your touch will linger with me here, forever...I'll be blessed by it, come what may; please, my Love...just that one thing...♥

I watch as your feet leave my temple. I watch until you are out of sight. Can you feel me longing for your next visit? I would wait forever...

Even in your absence, your presence lingers...

It haunts me...oh how it haunts me...

In every room, a shadow waits for me...

I can embrace no one but you...so I wait...and wait...and wait...

I await the footsteps of my Beloved...

Surely, he will come; one day, he will come for me.
