A Wish
21st Century
Let your veil fall sweet and fragrant
around my face. Sensuous as silk
soft and warm as the summer breeze,
close me in safe and secure in a perfumed world.
I look up into your eyes, they smile,
deep, fathomless, with tender love.
I have no care, no anxiety, the ghosts
that haunt are quieted as I lay in your arms.
We have no need for words, just the
inarticulate speech of the heart.
We laugh with joy and move
together as one, tears fall.
Impressed on my heart, your heart,
beating a rhythm of long ages past
primitive, fundamental, the mystery
of life, to love and be loved.
