salvation

your skin my sanctuary my sin my salvation.

Love.

that state which endures, a slavery of willing chains, an everlasting intoxication, afflicted without cure.

Only love.

Undefined, formless, yet known. Recognized by all, as a freedom from Self, a servitude, a surrender.

In love -

with you, for you, of you.

You,

Love,

the drink to relinquish my thirst. Through all timeless tales, woven of lovers, there and now.

I will love you fervently, as stars love the sky, as seeds love the soils, as you love me.
