Almost Like Athena

Placid glass tempts the body
And the soul cries out
Consume me completely
The silence has broken
Abrasion pain free
No noisy shatter
You lap me up smoothly
Satin blanket engulf me
Liquid-cool to the touch
Wrapping my entirity
In it's cradling clutch
Swallowing me wholly
Immersing myself to you
Exposing vulnerabality
Let me revel in this
And know that I am clean
Pure of common filth
Living form of purity
Expanding human potential
I aquire new ability
Sojourning in your comfort
Far past all possibility
Yet sweetness must cease
The world beckons me
I emmerge forth bedewed
By these recent happenings
I fathom a return
As I feel divinity
Silken hair wraps round
Power ever so engulfing
Almost like Athena
Goddess of the Greeks
