My waters flow over her
through her
around her
surround her

It cleanses, refreshes
and she rises forth
an African Aphrodite
pristine in my waters.

Life springs from her merest touch
a casual toss of her hair
can coalesce into
a summer's shower
or winter's gale

Yet his still waters roil
in the tempest of his anger
I can not burn
My Adonis Nubian
his waters peak
my mountains white
I can not freeze

Within the deepest flow and ebb
of his love though I am
completely submerged
in the silken currents
I cannot be drowned.
Nor can my thirst
ever be quenched.
