My Haven

by Rafika Anderson

hungry for your passion
that nourishes me
safe and secure within your all-encompassing embrace
you rouse something deep within
awakening emotion and heat
long dormant
 
you are the most beautiful of the beautiful
full of magnetism I cannot resist
a warmth that attracts me
unfailingly
 
your subtlety and mysterious depths appeal to me
irresistibly
stimulating an intense eroticism
matched by tenderness
 
you fill me with deep insight, compassion and healing
offering solace in your arms
a stirring of mind and spirit in your words
and comfort in your kiss

"Haven" evokes hearing "heaven" in this as well, and so it is, this place. Without this intensity of feeling (which I know so well) there would be no poetry. "Beautiful of the beautiful"!

An impressively complete and elegant description of love and its opening to transcendence. Thank you, Rafika.
