Poetry: The Chosen, Mortal One

Love!
My love, 
Yes! 
earth-bound with you for a set time
Purity! 
How pure is your heart?
beating for me — I hear its sound
Whispering quietly, echoing my name…

Holy Spirit;
Power of God
chosen by me, a symphony divine
intertwined in eternity, each moment a transcend. 
In the vast expanse of silence, our love tells a tale.    

Love!

My love, 
My blue-eyed, mortal one.
Our spirits entwine sweetly
fellowshipping eternally
Tenderness!
Oh! your lovely embrace
a gentle promise; a gentle vow
a sweet-smelling smile 
glowing up my trials. 

Liefie!
your gaze ignites my soul
burning fiercely within my gall 
Inhale!
breathlessly longing for you
forever seeking more
synchronised—
your fragrance lingers on
my eyes looking on 

“Skatlam”
your words gently caress me
singing melodies to my core
Sweetypie!
your eyes hold galaxies untold
our laughter brings joy to my soul
Married!
it’s true, heaven testifies
angels rejoicing faithfully

Honey,
your kindness, draws me in
like a drug I’m swept in!
Blossom…
deeper in love
our union grows
like a rose, our hearts petal in

Oh, Wici!
Yes, indeed, we are one
one with you and you with me.
