How Can I Deny You?

Themes
  Bliss
  Fire
  Lover and Beloved
  Smile
  Trembling

 

How can I deny you?
For three weeks now I have felt your touch
Raging bliss and
Fire within and
Gentle love;

Stroking the locks of my hair
Is a secret lover, God Herself within me
Love made tangible
Heat radiant
Shaking with joy
I tremble with desire for more You
How can I deny You?
Take me and do with me as You please
How can it be otherwise?
