The air is thick with light:
heat, bright as a sun-torched gord
(a drinking well,
deep with thought,
an expression of your truth,
your surrender,
your quenched thirst.)
heat, bright as a sun-torched gord
(a drinking well,
deep with thought,
an expression of your truth,
your surrender,
your quenched thirst.)
And this heat,
ablaze with your heart-rays,
generating fuel for us to
move forward
onward
toward
the dance of life,
entwined:
The heat of your palm in mine.
You are the well
of great dreams
of assured tenderness
of reflected hope.
I sip your words and
taste your love.
Come, wet my tongue.
