The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

In your light I learn how to love.In your beauty, how to make poems.You dance inside my chest,where no one sees you.
How do the birds make great sky circles... They fall and falling they are given wings.
Through your love existence and nonexistence merge. All opposites unite. All that is profane becomes sacred again.
