I celebrate you, precious gift.
Savour your golden smile aglow
In the café’s dim light.
Later, I walk you beneath the evening
Sky, kiss you in the moonlight
And dance our bonding souls with a million
Stars in witness.
It is blissful to fall asleep in the luxury
Of your tender unlying arms, your breath
Hot on the hair of my chest and the scent
Of heartsease on your skin incenses
My restless spirit to a joyful song.
A miracle like you had better be real
For I have grown to believe much in you,
You have healed me, and covered me
In your costliest marabou. I will honour you
With my faith through seasons green or grey.
