I heard your voice calling me, hearkening
unto my very essence.  Its magnificent music
lifted me out of my body, floating and soaring
like a little boy in slumber’s play.  As a wick
would hold the candle’s flame, so I now cling
to my love for you as a wildfire contained within
the harmonious halls of my heart.  I laugh and sing
to your song, for it called life from life and quick

from dead.  My love, how sweet your breath upon
my face, how lovely is your smile to me.
My torso tenses with your every glance, and my wind

rushes from my grip with your every touch;
and with every kiss you send me to new dreams –
to new worlds which you and I have made in the stars.
