You ripen <br />in the sun <br /> <br />grown browner <br />become berrier <br /> <br />as the clasp <br />of your bra <br /> <br />becomes undone <br /> <br />and I the bearer <br />of the oil <br /> <br />anoint you <br />the anointed one <br /> <br />with sun <br />tan oil <br /> <br />in this ceremony <br />of love <br /> <br />where I <br />touched by your nakedness <br /> <br />place a kiss <br />between your shoulder blades <br /> <br />and lost <br />for words <br /> <br />cry out with <br />my heart <br /> <br />a wordless prayer: <br /> <br />“Oh love...oh love... <br />oh love! ”<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wordless-prayer/
