Where Rivers Rarely Flow

In the chill of the night 
your closeness seduces me 
and warms this tepid soul 
let me linger lightly upon your body 
and lie down across those loving fields
brush your passions against my holy spirit
touch my temple of knowledge with feathery delight
enter my ruins and rebuild my humanity
where heated rivers rarely flow
be the comfort that's always wanted
and the needed cover to my bed
