I celebrate <br />my lover's birthday <br /> <br />glorying in her <br />body <br /> <br />ravishing her senses <br />(she relishing my ravishing) <br /> <br />until her soul <br />lies naked before me <br /> <br />I making her anew <br />shaping her molecule by molecule <br /> <br />touch upon touch <br />creating her <br />kiss by kiss <br /> <br />until she exists <br />clothed in my love <br /> <br />dressed in her joy <br />this day of her <br /> <br />birth.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/until-her-soul-lies-naked-before-me-for-janice-on-this-the-day-of-her-birth/
