The kerosene lamp will burn

Low…..very low

You will see me

You will look at me

I will look at you

My eyes will stroke you

And Speak to you

Silently!

Then

I shall tip some oil of summer

Some oil of winter

Some oil of autumn

And some oil of spring

Into the palm of my hands

And I will anoint you

Your neck

Your shoulders

Your arms

I will anoint your belly

Your back

Your legs

And the spices from the tip of my tongue

Will penetrate your pores

And you will feel as if your bones have turned into flesh

And you will want to touch me

But I shall say

Not yet!

My mind will explore your mind

Your soul

Your heart

And you will look at me quizzically

And ask if I love you

I will not answer

I will take your hands

And guide them to my garden

Where my love for you overflows

You will tremble

When you discover that my fruits have been watered

And then lightening will flash

I will tremble

And call your name

Begging you to take me

But you will say

Not yet!
