mark nwagwu - Eros

Eros in dance divine love descending
Proudly possessive ecstatic transforming
Eternal joy fulfilling relentlessly spreading
Body and soul intimately growing
Flesh soulless fleeting pleasure seeking
Soul shorn of form in cloister secluding
Human person created divine love exhaling
Image of Maker skyward reflecting

Eros transforming in faith responsive
Lovers wondering grandiosely permissive
Inexorably rising to heights constructive
Hills and woods and skies assertive
All creation agog with heavens expansive
Earth and kingdoms a marriage conclusive
Image of God in humans elective
Image of humans in God redemptive
