Enveloped



Enveloped by her bosom, like a nursing child,
I nestled in her amplitude,
full and milky mild.
Enveloped by her sachet, like a droning bee,
I baptized in her anadem,
clean and pungent free.
Enveloped by her spirit, like a musing sage,
I studied in her priory,
wise and sacred gage.
Enveloped by her luster, like a shining light,
I sparkled in her diadem,
pure and crystal bright.
Enveloped by her magic, like a willing dupe,
I ceded in her wizardry,
hex and endless loop.
Enveloped by her ocean, like a sailing ship,
I capsized in her hurricane,
gale and tempest flip.
Enveloped by her essence, like a seeking soul,
I rested in her attributes, rapt and simply whole.
