Spirit Soul Melding
The night wind has blown sure and steady,
and wrapped in your arms,
skin to skin
neither awake nor dreaming
i hear the whispers it carried.
Just one moment before
I heard what you did not say,
slipped my own skin long enough
to slide beneath yours
and felt with your nerve endings
tried out your emotions
tasted with your tongue
saw with your eyes
and found a truth
my heart and soul have turned from
time and again, since first you touched me.
What is between us
is the filling of a heart,
the saiteing of a spirit
and the price the gods ask
of those who have touched the divine
hand in hand with another.
We have walked through the forge
met the flame
and emerged never to be
souls that could walk seperately.
I carry you inside me,
wedded to my flesh,
bound to my heart,
the one who will ever and always be
the comfort of my days
the flame of my nights
and the voice my soul
will always call love.
