Honey on Your Lips

Dancing in the fields of fragrant lavender

Close to the garden by the sea

Come to me, my beloved

As you spin, spin, and spin

Dancing in the joy of me

Making my heart swell with even more love

Your country dress is a bell around your legs

As you put honey on your lips

Making them shiny, sweet and kissable

Oh, so kissable.

Knowing I could not resist, would not resist

Wanting you to take me and possess me with your love

I pulled you down and you fell into my arms so softly

Falling into my arms

And I kissed your sweet honey covered lips

Tasting your sweetness, nourished by your love

Knowing we were tempting fate

And sneering in the face of society’s mores

We should not be here,

We both know we are tempting fate and worse

But we won’t stop.

This love just can’t be stopped.

As we grasp each other in sacred and holy union

Soul, Spirit and Bones and Flesh

Becoming One Together

As we have done for centuries

My one true love.

Loving as One

Becoming sacred through mortal sin

Just so much love

Wrapping and covering us like the softest warm blanket

Divinely woven for the two of us.

My story is filled with broken pieces, terrible choices, and ugly truths. It is also filled with comebacks, peace in my soul, and a grace that has saved me.
