Melting Like Copper

You

You are my only passion

My protection from falling

And from the passing years

The mystery

It constantly deepens

Stays forever new

Steadfast and ageless

I have only one body

And only one heart

On my knees my love

I am your harp

The tide of desire

Stirring me gently

A smouldering flame

Blazing inside of me

I crave you

With a wild impatience

My thoughts are all of you

They come upon me

Like a raging furnace

And each morning

Rise anew

Spilling out

In an endless flood

Overflowing the banks

An ever-present desire

The pieces fit

Deeply and completely

Amongst my sighs

A thousand roses bloom around

The fire burns again

And we are melting

Like copper

And lingering

Like a dream
