The Maker, A.D.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\r\n

The Body<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

In your body, I find a blessing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A warmth that cradles me like a forgotten home.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Every touch, every glance,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A silent love that never fades.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I am the breeze that kisses your skin,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A tree rooted deep, finding purpose in your embrace.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In your warmth, I am more than just flesh.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I am home.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I am the blessing of the body I love.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Footprints of the heart, shadows that dance in the night,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You move like whispers on moss, secrets tucked in every step.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I find you in the mist,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the sweet brush of wounds healed and hidden.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Our tracks, like tangled cobwebs, lead me into the labyrinth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This anxious life is exciting, despite the clouds of dark chains pulling tight.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I watch from a distance,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Unravelling your truth and understanding the pulse of your soul.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

My heart beats fast and feverishly, seeking your love, your touch, the peace I’ve never known.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When I close my eyes, I see you.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You are the traces of my madness,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A passion written in every secret,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mysterious echoes of the heart.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Let me into your world,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Flood my life with your love,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And I will never leave this harbour.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Your secrets are now mine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

My destiny is bound to you, in the light and in the dark.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The autumn wind stirs,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rippling across the land like a melody only we can hear.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Desire blooms, slow and deliberate,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In every gesture, in every accidental touch,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The scent of it lingers \u2013<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A soft evidence of happiness,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A silent flame flickering in the shadows.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When we touch, the world pauses,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And in the fragrant air of that fleeting moment,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We simply feel \u2013<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Timeless, together, and whole.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
