Mahogany

 
the skies opened
and the dreams poured in
your passion in rich mahoganies
fused with my blood

my heart began to beat
telling the story of our passion
with a heat, we ignited
the stars tell of our union

how in the desert of loneliness we wandered
and we thirst with great lusts
then a lush paradise opened to us
we quenched our need

when you came into me with your ache
I relieved it with my magic
our souls merged as one
beating back the pain of days past
we spent blind to each other

you wrapped around my shame
and devoured it with your light
the darkness recognized your voice
then retreated
your essence flooded me
filling the empty

I spoke in tongues
when you first entered me
the language of love
new and foreign to me
it fell from my lips and you rejoiced
you knew you got through to me

so far you journeyed to reach my heart
when we came together as one
you claimed me as a warrior would
marking me as your own

forever bound by love
