Holy Grail

I want you in every manner
Hot as hell and yet celestial
I need you every hour
As mundane and extraterrestrial

I want you as monks want to pray
And to reverence sacred things
I need you still as a prey
And as predators devour things

You'll have me as the cloud
Gentle, calm, slow and still
I need you not too loud
But you need not be quiet still

You'll have me as demons sent
To possess anything
You'll have me as a saint
That worships a holy being

I'll come to you as a tourist
Exploring all; ancient and modern
You'll have me as a florist
Who loves to tender his lovely garden

I see you as a beast
'Cause you devoured every bit of me
Yet I see you as my feast
For the satisfaction you give to me
