SELF LOVE

The closest kind of gentle touch
on skin, softly holding your own hand
In love for Self from Self
we bathe, dissolving
the body eases in and blends
melting into deep relief.
In rest restored
anointed by slow repose
we marinade in loves making to itself
savouring the hearts inhale
a softening of senses full
cherished in one's own embrace
of taste of sweet surrendered
a tender chill gives in
as whole
