I want to wake up with
your lips on me...you hold me sway.
Come to me 
smelling of chandrika 
and peppermint lips.
Come into my arms I want to caress you 
press into your hips
Bhakti.. kiss me 
and settle into the folds of my being.
Rise and meet me for this rhapsody
and wear my skin.
Enter like pelting rain
upon the red sumac.
Make love with me beside the river
beside the wild peach tree
Remember the pool of flowers
swimming naked.
I kiss you, one by one
your fingers are carried to my lips.
Before the break of day
come with me. 
We will leave our bodies
like kimonos folded
by the shore.
