prayer
For want of the love in you
that has ached for so long
to be known by an ardent lover
I come to worship
at the altar of
this most precious vessel of you
With a prayer at my tongue
that would distill the essence
of all your sweetness
and drink of you with a thirst
that will never be slaked
singing praises of you with
lips that have been longing
to kiss you as if
desire were redefined upon
the breath of the sighs
between us exchanged
in a language we have
been preparing all our lives to share
