My Hot Water Bottle Metaphorically

My source of gain for each day
is so soothing and warm of heart
this holds me up no matter what
fully satisfying in no small part

This bottle has ca spiritual dimension
effecting my soul so very much
keeping it filled to the brim
trusting for that divine touch

There's a constant boiling need
being red hot temperature-wise
touching inside your lukewarmness
pour out the heat before it dies

Looking in as the bottle's filling
it's literally so full of steam
portraying spiritual power within
now that's something you can dream

When your skin touches that heat
so soothing like His divine presence
bringing a real glow inside
my HWB makes a lot of sense

Nice rhyme poem Gordon. My wife is in bed right now enjoying the pleasures of a HWB. I'm doing the filling and refilling, lol. A poet friend, Bill

Strange I never used a ht water bottle. But there's more meaning to HWB/ A lovely poem full of meaning.
