Eclipse Poem by Mari Martin

Dawn,
It comes as a breath upon my skin
warm, bathing me.
My lashes beg to remain upon my cheeks
where they fell
feeling your Love within me.

My heart thunders as it awakens
to the call of Love's desire.
A sun that pierces me
with shards of brightness
filling my mind.
Bursting flames
burn my skin
taking me into their fury.

I am naked
before eyes that cast spells
enfolding me in magical embrace
where passion's moon rises
as desire's blazing sun crests the horizon.
Night within day,
Day within night,
an eclipse.
Time stilled in your kiss.

The desert of my soul thirsts
as a shadowed star in a night sky.
I beg the sun, bring me to life.
Come, lay with me.

Life exists in darkness
until the sun surrounds it,
sending it's brightness through the sky.
Unseen, light within time,
traversing oceans, mountains,
power moving untouched
until it finds the star
to whom it gives all.

I am a star shining.
You touch my body.
I am cast into your soul
bursting.

Dawn,
It comes as a breath upon my skin.
I awaken,
a nova
born of your Love.
