Death In Love Poem by Mari Martin

Bury me
in your silken touch.
Cover me
in the endless velvetness of your desire.
Lay me down
in the earth that is your soul.
I will take my last breath
in your embrace.

Lay me to rest
with the taste of you upon my lips.
Let your eyes be my last vision.
May your heartbeat
be the final sound I hear.

Take me to bleed
with your body joined in mine.
The waters of my passion
flowing from me.
I will thirst no more.

Let me die
in the sweet death of Love.
