if I were
just a droplet
of holy water
such purity
I'd want to
splash onto you
if I was
a rivulet or stream
I'd dream
of washing over you
if I was
a rushing river
I'd rapidly try
to swirl around you
if I were
deep blue ocean
fathoms of need
I could truly
submerged with you
would surely fathom
believe in you
if I were
a hurricane
I'd virtually
surround you
our record high
surging tides
all our urgent sighs
finding high ground
emergent with you
I'd fervently rain
so much
liquid love
onto you
you'd wonder
just how blue
wicked love
like deep
sea squid
ever manage
to ponder
midst oceanic
wand'ring itself
deep ocean love
wond'ring itself
if one true
holy droplet
of deep sea love
pure water
could ever
if it were true
refresh you
with all that
liquid love
caressing you
if I were
just dancing
a Venetian fountain
I'd want to
spray love's flow
display romance
shower over you
if I were some
remote glacier
sheets of ice
layers and tiers
of constant motion
cry tears of joy
atop that majestic
holy carnal mountain
I'd melt for you
on top of love
my whole heart
turning to water
each loving droplet
soaring love
downpouring liquid
onto you
making you smile
hour after hour
making you
mile after mile
fly and swoon
each dark
loving night
all our
remarkable mornings
romantic harbingers
rivers and oceans
of shimmering love
streaming into
simmering afternoon
pure holy water
glimmering droplets
surely illuminated
with love's liquid light
