Lotus
Lying beside you,
I become the blessing, benison,
That descends, in heavenly cadences,
Blending into your senses' dreams,
Whenever we sleep together
And your gently breathing flesh,
Pure as a lotus blossom
Opening, opening, opening,
Beckons me to stroke its petals,
Kiss its unfolding corolla,
Whisper, into its exquisite beauty,
Affection's peaceful wisdom,
And envision the source of innocence,
Where, forevermore,
You and I and the sky
Will hallow a new universe,
Just by lying naked,
For we are the flowering embodiment
Of two lotus-souls
Growing out of one love.
