River Of Life Poem by Mari Martin

My heart hears your's with every beat.
I am immersed in the blood.
A river flowing through us.

Every breath moves it along it's path
forged by fates hand.
Our bodies sway as a soft breeze
forming the tide that dances
in the sunlight born of Love.

The echo of the beat,
a drum
that gives our feet the music to dance.
A dance of lifetimes.

The bells of my anklets sing for you.
The silks of my veil the clouds we dance upon.

Your touch the warmth of the river
bathing me in the essense of desire.
I am a flower
opening to your whispers,
a fragrance so sweet,
dew upon your lips.

My happiness,
a gentle rain
spilling over,
joys of Love flowing from my shaded eyes
that hold only you within their pools.

The river is our blood,
Passion's flame the lotus floating upon the ripples.

I will dance for you
to the rythyms of entreatment,
My hands weaving desire's longing
into the web of rapture
clinging to destiny's branch.

Adrift on the river of life,
our need lays upon the reeds
bound by ties of promise
fresh upon our breath.

I am but a hollow bone
through which the river flows.
My veins the tributaries
taking the river on it's journey.
My skin the shores that absorb it's nourishment.

Touch me my Love
that this river finds a new pathway
flowing into your heart
there to travel endlessly
a part of me.
