This Is My Solace

This is my solace:
In your warm breath
Calm my nerves with
The balm of your palm;

Uncover the veil
My goddess, sacred to the fall of day.
Shine forth-
Your smile radiant,

Your hair like a carpet of carnations
Adorning the veiled daylight;
Shed your tear before
My trembling eyelash!

Flames rekindled blazing
In our loins. Dawn
Shall find us awake
In an affectionate embrace.
