The Approaching Beloved…

deep Love feels
the quickening rhythm
of the heart
as the unseen
Beloved
approaches

a precious mist
of tears
clouds the eyes
glimmering as they
reflect the light
of the moon

the surrounding air
swoons
as a drifting hint
of musk
escapes from
the rustling
folds of silken longing

divine whispering
becomes
a sweet silent
music
heard only
in the soul

a seeking tenderness
discovers
the softness
of lips
yielding to
a rushing flare
of divine desire

the creative fire
of love
sends the doors
of heaven spinning
and swinging
open
to eternity
