SONG TO STEPHEN…(you'd think the people would have had enough of silly love songs!!!)

God has given me a woman's body
soft with curves and wanting…
a moist dark soil
a secret garden
red with life
for planting.
Beyond stone walls
a fountain springs
and every path toward center
sings a woman's heart.
It beats in quiet trembling,
cascades of water love to bring;
and like a flower opening
to light
and wind's carress,
I open to your longing touch.
I cast aside the less important
transients…squatters on my land,
the weeds within my garden pulled
by careful woman hands.
A tomboy child is growing up.
The flowering is slow--
but in your warm sweet gentle ways
spring rains
and breezes blow.
