Intoxication Poem by Alan Paul Stevens

Intense the intoxication of my heart

As heavens spirit flows through every part

And ensnares me with its divine treasure.



Every fear and failure and sin that hinders

Burns in the consuming grip of your favor

And the fire now intensifies with power.



My every intimate sense yearns with desire

I breathe in again heavens holy fire

That sets my heart alight beyond measure.



This is the place I want to reside

In tune with the spirit, nowhere to hide

Immersed in your overflowing nectar.
