MY MAN

Wasn't it joyous when
he held me to discover
like nobody dared before?

He took off all my clothes
and kissed me the first Eve:
made my world Eden

shaking senses with touch
he filled my being with love--
life changed forever

we were earth and sky
in embrace one soul
in sleep dreamt together

awake he made me aware
of my feminity
made me find my nest

escaping myself
I felt his stength, the man
became unity

how can I live without
the smell of his skin, my man
he leads me to bliss
