Intimacy Poem by Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua

To be vibrant; to be whole and alive
To validate my body with love and comfort
To be renewed, replete and undivided
To avouch confidence that I am lovable
Capable of giving and receiving love

To be face to face, entwined,
Body, soul and spirit, consummating
Passionately in honest discovery

To be secure in this loving union
In blissful luxurious embrace
With a breath of wholeness
To savor this freedom, this ecstasy
This complete presence and desire,
This communion of two souls,
Both giving and both receiving

To engage in the fullest and purest
Expression of love that God offers
And if the relationship offers less
Then ‘tis a violation of the body;
A lustful exercise abating the spirit
