let me bathe
your naked body with dew
harvested
from the blue lotus.
let my thumb
gently wipe away each tear
which spills
from kohl-stained eyes.
let this whispered prayer
erase all fear
and pierce the shadows
surrounding
your precious heart.
let the fragrance of your lotus
wash me clean,
that I may taste sweet
nectar on the tip
of my tongue.
