Iconology

I have found myself

lost

in your language

of tongues

I have learned

to taste

your soul

rising

above the din of the multitude

watching over me

your peace

becoming my whole

dome of heaven

molded into

the infinite

forms

I dwell in

the memories of you

I tenderly practice

touching each

of yours inside of me

the sum of all my devotions

your

solitary tears, which gently leave

your eyes

are my dreams

flowing

into rivulets

of reveries

divided and joined

beyond me

you became

my sorrows lost,

a river,

perfectly complete,

you are

to me

the mouth which leads,

a cross, your vast

sea

of all inward thoughts,

my heart

given a way

in your holy waters

my lips are quenched with

a seamless kiss

neatly sowed

within one hand

another

desire

to fulfill

the next

of my endless wants

are

all of you

I am not

alone

in my life

your image is

a sacred revaluation

revealed to me

your countenance

to anoint me

with

your flawless

grace, you will always

my love

all that I am

for

you.
