Engulfed by Love
*
In midst of the desert
I howl my yearning
into the attentive silence
of an impending starlit sky
draped around my shoulders
as they shudder for the loss
of your heart shaped skin-cape.
The brilliance of the stars
assembles into a laser beam
aiming at the core of my heart.
With raised arms I stand
under this divinely orchestrated
shower of condensed light
and let myself be engulfed by love.
Candid little teeth of mercy
free me of the thorns
I gathered when I wandered
the lacerating trail of pain.
Tender angel lips brush
over the residual small scars
which dissolve one by one
into the sea of forgiveness.
Overwhelmingly
engulfed by love
I expand to merge with the sun
embracing the whole world.
Visions of peace delight me.
White sheets flutter
in midsummer heat
absorbing pollen
carried by the breeze
preparing to be the canvas
for my future dreams.
Engulfed by love
I am lifted off the ground.
Effortlessly I climb
the giant mountain
of the granitic debris
of all of our sorrows.
On top of it
I inhale billows
of summer scented air
that lingers long
within my soul
before I exhale it again
in sweet bits of radiance ...
that will touch you
with its tiny kisses of light,
for love knows no distance
nor any kind of hindrance.
