Opening Petals of Want

you touch me
and I fall away 
to nothing


breaking apart
into a thousand
petals of want 


I am as bewitched 
as the trail
that lies beneath
your hand


incantations
sing through my blood
and I am wrought,
with my need
to list into you


at just a touch 
I need to inhale 
but,


you breath life
into every molecule
to overflow my spirit
and in the essence 
of love 


I lay in want
of the masters
hand  


and to fall as petals
at his feet
