[u]The Shower After[/u]
Cleansing Water:
Soothing, clear,
The sparkling fall
Of liquid motion,
Drench this face
Burned by love
That radiated virtue;
Ease the pain
From having lost
That sweet emotion,
Though the one
Who took it claimed,
"I never meant to hurt you."
Yes, Healing Water:
Wash away
Despairing deeper
Than the ocean,
Running through
The hair she loved
To dance through with her fingers,
Cleanse the lonely
Soul that yearns,
In true devotion,
For that one
Whose spirit in
My broken heart still lingers...
