Porphyria

I touched heaven tonight,
the instant made eternity
for a while as life flew in my loins,
coursing in tingling waves,
unfurling the petals of the rubied heart
that had laid asleep like myth, buried in time.
I drifted in a dreamland still awake,
my eyes knew not what they sought,
the lips sang out a holy reverie,
as my soul drank in pious delight.
