Natural Perfume

He is day's melody 
adorned by sun-blessed winds
rich and dark the manly warmth, 
he always holds me ,caressing my hours 
with spritz of a thousand songs...

Commanding flowers to unfold 
the scent of his presence
mingles with that unmistakable 
woody   musky aroma, 
lingering in whiffs of air, 
heady and ambrosial
a fragrance  natural, not bottled nor diluted
that my ardor burns.

And I become his starlight , his woman
he leans on me for water's sustenance,
with pulses of reverence and wonder.

Somehow , at all times I know. 
in a forest of naked trees,
his potent balm protects our nakedness...
 It was ours, this spirit...not to be shared
