sipping from your bounteous chalice,

nectar, sustenance,

imbibing tender love,

warmth,

passion,

desire,


thirsting for more,

of you,

hungry, needy,

transcending this life,


all these cardboard smiles on parade,

this mock shambolic frigid charade,


thirsting for more,

of you,


here,

now,


for within my being, your love is a beach of solace,

as gentle as the tides kissing the shore,

for you, are my all,

you are hewn into my very core.
