Kiss of Your Presence

"Sweet Melting" © 2011 Aïda Touré

I’m a golden candle

that slowly, slowly burns

in the kiss of your Presence~

This sweet melting,

this tender burning

has paved the way

for some grace,

so musical and divine

the heart breaks open

amid its sobbing beauty~

so vibrant it screams:

“come, become me!”

Lo! My heart lands in your palm,

spinning and spinning

with quiet force,

longing and union is one;

see, the healer is healed by Love~

I can’t say more…

Will you finish this for me,

in the secret language

only you and I speak?
