I Adore You

Crisp dew tickles my knees
unknown joy awakened by the smoke of your scent
--my last defense crumbles.

I don't know how to love you
take these tears, more valuable than gold
Only You make me still.

Wet warm streams trickle
over a smile that holds our secret.

Only you & I exist.
Creator & Created.
and yet, another.

A watchful servant with
lamp and flasks of oil.
His face glows brighter than the fire.

I see the hidden face I long for in your faithful servants eyes.
