Poem : The Lover - I

The Lover I

Irie Salvador

My Beloved

My Beautiful

You came like blazing fire into my heart

-a thousand burning suns inside my every being

My soul you consumed

-devoured

And I, your lover

The moon

I submitted to your burning light

-reflected your beauty into every darkened room

I, your lover

To you my every breath

My Beloved

My Beautiful

I followed you wherever your dreams beckoned

I bathed you with the most sacred herbs in Eden

I clothed you in the finest silk loomed from the depths of my love

My Beloved

My Beautiful

Your love is Holy water

You have left me

You have left with my heart

-with all of my sacred herbs

Not even one silk of your beauty did you leave me

My Eden is dead

This blade-
