He says he
wants to worship
at my feet.
_____________________
I say I am a mere mortal,
the sum of
life’s victories and
defeats.
_____________________
He says
that my forehead
radiates the sun;
that there no one
who has
enchanted him
so sweetly
and completely.
_____________________
The casual garments that
I put on
are akin to luxurious robes
in his eyes.
_____________________
With me,
He feels worthy
and capable,
His mind is at peace,
because my body
is his new temple.
