Your skin smells of incense.
Your face radiates with the essence
Of a dove, high in flight.
You inspire hope in me,
Though you do not wear a halo
And cannot bear a cross.
You cannot answer prayers.
Your lips taste like wine
And when you talk
You bless me with your words—
I listen to you
Because I believe in you.
Today you've baptized me
In the water of your love.
Forsake me not—
I have found a sanctuary
In the movement of your body,
You are my home.
