Song of Songs

Song of Songs (Wedded Bliss)

I poured oil over her forehead
and watched it flow
down her face
to drip from her chin
onto her neck and breasts.

Standing in evening's
half-light
the fading sun danced
a golden gleam
and with her hands lifted
there was glory
in the room.

Oil is Presence
is blessing
abundance
unfiltered joy
and it covered her
to pool
along the planks
of the floor.

Anointing
rained from the throne
and we fell
into one another
celebrating that which was
ordained
before time began
in the heart of God
and consummated
in the blistering
near crazy
and immaculate moment
on sheets of fragrant
cool linen
in air saturated
with incense
and joy.

With that amazing blessing
two became
one
in a land
flowing in rivers
of joy so full
it laughs and sings
dancing
to the thrill
of wonder!
