let me ... you are the All your need is my pleasure - your pleasure, my need i, water to your vessel, rain to your bloom your fingers are the spaces in mine your body ... the bread of my desire - and the altar of my sacrifice let me fill my hollows ... sip your wine oh let me ... you are the One the reef i break myself upon and the soft sand beach that receives me i, your spindrift ... washed shore-ward by the storm you are my mercy ... bind me with your sorrows let weep, the blood of pain and passion wrap me in your wings and let me. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Strand Choice D, Any Form, Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.

A passionate appeal and longing to be Everything to your All. Heartfelt and soulful, gripping, actually ~ a fave for me, Gregory. I haven't been around much, but I couldn't leave this without a response when it is so deserving.
