Take me to the ocean of your body
Baptising me in the name of your contours
Until my cup runs overflowing with your love
And until I become the redeemed of your heart
Do not let me wander into another’s hand
Those of Delilah who ended up killing her man
For your love has become my wine
And I drink from it and I am full of you
Flowing in every poetic language
As my tongue caresses your body
Just as the Nile River flows within
Wetting the land of Egypt for irrigation
Your love whets my appetite for more
And what else should the inhabitant ask for
Except for a fertile ground to plant their hearts
In your fertile heart, I have come to plant my love
Planting the generation in every movement
Until you are full of life and offspring of men,
Women who are to be kings and queens on earth
My lover’s body as the sea, the fertile land
To plant the next generation on it all night
As we travelled through the divine routes
Within our bodies and the field of roses
