Let Me

Let me forever remember the glow of your sun-washed creamy skin,

Let me see our wrinkles as poems we told,

Let me inhale deeply the scent of wet earth rising within,

Let me hear your sighs in the wind—feral, uncontrolled.

Let me see our wrinkles as poems we told,

Let us swim in the moonlit pool where your waterfall sleeps,  

Let me hear your sighs in the wind—feral, uncontrolled. 

Let us drink our wild honey—slowly, amber-sweet.

Let us swim in the moonlit pool where your waterfall sleeps,    

Let love open us completely beneath our mother stars,  

Let us drink our wild honey—slowly, amber-sweet,

Let love lead our fingers, a blindfolded dancer, tracing silk scarves.

Let love open us completely beneath our mother stars,  

Let time unhook the painful passion within,  

Let love lead our fingers, a blindfolded dancer, tracing silk scarves,

Let me forever remember the glow of your sun-washed creamy skin.
