In exaltations of love --you bathe me.
Every part-- flooded by your essence.
Such are the things you say -- that even the stars and the moon won't move away.
Not a word is to be missed
Not a single drop of this sweet raining of love must fall
elsewhere
if not in the prairies of my heart.
I can feel your fingers move through my soul.
In every wisp of your breath
is the balm that sooths my spirit.
In a singular look raised up -- the heavens come laughing by my side
In you, my soul abides , it awakens , it sleeps .
When you turn to speak to me ,
every leaf, every river,
every cloud floating inside me,
stops to listen.
this is how my life moves on everyday.
I have always known love , but never felt it the way you give it to me.
I have cherished the beauty of your words
as though they were the bleeding of my own heart.
But , now i feel them as the pangs of my soul missing you.
Love has pierced me from all sides
so your plenitude alone will be my nourishments.
In you alone,
my hunger and thirst subsides
and multiplies anew.
If this is'nt being struck by love, then, what is it?
In your touches
my springtime awakes
in you, i rise and swoon.
On your lips the moons shall melt into songs.
In lakes of fire -- the trembling of my desires ,
pleads
to be satiated
by
your soothing kisses .
When shall you come
to sit besides me and lull me into quietness ?
That in your mingling with mine
these blissful, tearing tempests
may render bearable
sonnets of silences.
