petals of want

you touch me
and I fall away
to nothing

breaking apart
into a thousand
petals of want

I am as bewitched
as the trail
that lies beneath
your hand

incantations
sing through my blood
and I am wrought,
with my need
to list into you

at just a touch
I need to inhale
but,

you breath life
into every molecule
to overflow my spirit
and in the essence
of love

I lay in want
of the masters
hand 

and to fall as petals
at his feet
