First...we belong only to
a touch.

Yet flesh alone is a shallow
prayer.

There is always more.

Even the deepest water parts to the
unexpected grace of reaching
hands.

First we belong only to the touch.

And fingers pray fine along the lips of
our desires.

We give ourselves to this...

A surrender to flesh and shallow
prayers.

And only now do we
taste -

A hint of something more.

“Even the deepest water parts to the
unexpected grace of reaching
hands”



Your soul
shines so bright
in these words
of power and grace.
And your fingers pray
through the touch
of desire
flooding my heart
with such love!
And with this love
a bridge is built
to all that exists
beyond ....
where only
eyes of love
see

Dear Eric, this is exquisite and carries me "beyond".

I love you, Margherita

Merlin...

Your magic never ceases to amaze me. You speak in terms that only the brightest souls and most beautiful beings are graced with eyes to see and hearts to feel. Thank you for translating it for the rest of us.

Love and Light...jc  

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.
