Love Poem: Her Love

Her Love

Her love is like 
wild honey that
seeps from a tree 
sap so tender 

It is generous at dawn
honey sweet sap
that runs through 
her intimate garden 

It is love that 
comes like a candle flame 
or like the morning sun
lighting up the sky 

Her love comes at night
it is felonious 
ransacks my heart 
with the hand of a goddess

Her sweet love 
consoles my soul 
spills into my eyes
the deepest dreams

I would walk over coals
for the moon of her lips
and to find the blind wind
of her silky ebony body...
