There is no revelation
There is no revelation
In this butterfly embrace
(Grand Plan divined -
an immaculate design unveiled)
No knowing is bestowed
by this: brush
of lips on brow; the silken kiss
of thighs
(and yet)
beneath, beside, between
the smiles and sighs
and sweat and skin
Heartbeat of breath
: the delicate unfolding
I recognise, in sweet surprise
God’s touch, so subtly satisfied.
