Sweet It Is.

Sweet it is, to be the honey in your mouth.
Sweet it is to be the nectar of your heart.
Yet what sweetness is of mine?
I have no sweetness
unless I am the taste of you
in my mouth and heart.

If a lip has no opposite lip to rest upon
what good is a kiss?
If a tongue, no sweet love to say
then it is fit only to be flesh.
The Beloved has given me two of all things
that I may cleave to Her symmetry.
Even my head
has an other head it wears as a crown.
Even my panting heart
has a pulse within it
that is Loves alone.

Sweet it is,
to be the essence of You
in the appearance of all.
I am your cloud that transpires.
Let me drift into your sky
to disappear as rain.

love
