Alive
I am alive
very much alive
warm head-to-toe
fire inside
burning like the sun
blue light from my eyes
wet steam expressed
through my narrow lips
and in guttural sounds
which whisper your name
which whisper
your
name.
Come closer
touch me and know
I am of Mother God
the Lover and Beloved
just like you
- exactly like you.
Your eyes are filled with precious light.
Your creeping smile wants to trust.
Let’s relax,
we’re already sitting
in each other’s living rooms.
