together forever
freed from past chains
oh my love how you invigorate
what joy the future holds
how sweet the closeness
love has us in its midst
stripping off dark ragged shawls
bodily load lightens
essence free to rise
how suitable this elevation
a billion rapid swirls of love
mind won't contain exhilaration
i feel a burst approaching
it's safe, no cause for worry
or frightened backward steps
i dive into the waterfall
emotion has no sway
on this devoted privilege
skin's warmth melts icicles of feeling
the last of tears are wiped away
