Earth
Love me like the earth loves its plants
Nurture shrubs to sturdy tree
Bury in deep your soul-laden seeds of fertile gentleness
♞♜♝
Love me like powerful sea waves on distant beach
Kiss secrets on to lips of flowering red-rose-pink
Revealing pleasure’s awaiting ache.
♞♜♝
Love me like the mountain’s wild-heathered brays
Here you brush your fingers over rosebuds
Soft, moss-covered stones
♞♜♝
Love me like silver salmon thrusting forward against all odds
To pebbled floors where life begins
Beneath wooden hills.
♞♜♝
Love me tenderly as the morning loves the dew
On grass asleep or in twilight’s peace
Securing another day for things to grow. Love me as I do you.
