We allow our skin to
open in the presence
of each other.

The breath becomes a holy
communion passed along
in silence.

Our tongues taste the sweetness
of this commitment.

We are temples to the truth
of one another -

Bowing only to ourselves.

And so...the gods stir from
deepest slumber.

This love alone becomes
our offering.

It is enough.

This is a poem to linger on .... to absorb all its beauty. You  have been again on a trip to Paradise I guess!

We are temples to the truth
of one another -

Bowing only to ourselves.

And so...the gods stir from
deepest slumber.


Sigh!
Love, Margherita

It is always enough, and never enough....an hour, a day, a month, a lifetime. Enough, and not enough.

Aaaahhh... yes... it is truly like this.  You capture so perfectly the beauty and light and essence of what divine love is.

Your words play softly upon my soul,
lingering to caress my heart.

I still feel the sacred warmth of
your touch,
and embrace deeply within me
this beautiful peace.

Thank you.

I love you,
Moca
