Lavender and Lace
Sensual; romantic;
Lifting the veil of mind;
Entering the threshold
Of the flesh.
Fully present; fully inhabiting;
My hands and fingers touch
With a gentle flame.
Searing away the pain;
Burning off the dregs of life.
I look at you and I am transformed;
Lavender and lace.
The sense of touch intensified;
Magnified by presence,
By love, by passion.
Hunger drives me to the edge;
Yet slowly I walk this path.
Sweet is the fragrance;
Soft are the sounds of the music.
Trembling, I enter your gates;
The rhythms of the night on fire.
You smile and welcome my attention;
Lavender and lace.
