...I've discovered why you fascinate - you keep the mystery and as Carlyle noted, Wonder is the basis of worship...

...when I chose you, I didn't want the commonplace - I didn't want a 'partner' - I wanted a shrine...

...I can think of other forms of worship than loving you, but none that make me feel so fulfilled...

...I remember your profile in darkness outlined by stars ...

...I worship at the temple of your body and without you, I'd have no art...

...but you - women like you are dangerous- ominous – take care, Love – men will first fear you, then later, turn you into a deity...

...is worship too strong a word? yes, I worship you - to worship is to give worth to something – isn’t that what love is all about?...

...I put you on the pedestal - made you a saint - dare I blaspheme?...

...how are you sacred to me? your lines are golden threads - your patter, my patten - I explore the liturgy of your words...
