The Sacred Tree


 
Ah my divine lover,
How can I spread my love across so many hills and trees
to call you through the darkness
through the din of tree frogs
and cicadas and fireflies
to blend me to your soul
to mark my body in your scent
and fold me into your heart
safely tucked away.
 
Ah sweet poet
scared though you may be
I have sewn my love to you
to carry you now, to mend
to light up with heat and fire
to bind us like limbs
wrapping, twisting, climbing
until we can no longer feel each others absence in the night
to fain in delicious pleasure
as furious winds blow through our lush canopy
 
Ah new and unexpected man
seeking marrow I am
wanting to tear at your flesh
to inhale and delight you in every second
with every anxious tension you betray
every old story falling from your memory
every wound smashed like glass jars of honey
delightful, sweet scents of my nectar
to replace all that was once immovable in you
to release your sweet sounds to me
across all things between us
darkness and light
 now ours to hold
