Words of love

❦

Words of love

for you—no definition.

The dictionary falls short:

emotion, delight, enjoyment

—too small, earthly, ephemeral—

I open to the affection of Divinity

… Expansion … Bloom … Absolute …

I float in nothingness,

an ecstatic field of sweet fog

carries me.

Yet, I’ve never been so clear.

Fears recede,

judgments retreat—

they march a fanfare

of vanishing.

And I dawn in the glory of your lips.

Rising in love.
