For Your Love

The more I drink
the thirstier I am
this soul’s hunger
only your love can quench

Each morning in abundance I receive
as the Sun rides to the east
this head is placed upon
your dainty feet

Time like a river flows
You and I alongside as it rolls
O Divine Mother every inch
of your face calls out to me

In awe I gaze
wondering what You see
the heart ever desirous of your love
hopes it’s of me You think

That half smile tilted to the right
those shielded eyes
beautiful as they shine
stir a strange hunger deep inside

There’s more of everything
and yet, for more I wish
what’s left now I ask myself
we are so close

In my smallness I’ve risen like a tree
and yet, them boughs
aim for the sky
hopeful to be a Kadamba by your feet

O Mother I can’t seem to contain this love
where do I place it
as it reflects back and forth
from your dark form to my darker one

Oh my delightful Mother
every minute of every hour
of every day
my heart seeks assurances of your grace

We are so close
but look how this separation
baffles me
do something I beg of You

Somehow tell me
for all times to come
that You are mine
and I most certainly yours

These eyes well
as they search your face
all the answers are here
it’s your voice I crave…
