Anoint me in the light of heaven/

dripping slow like syrup on a wintry day/

purge me of the error of presumptive thinking/

reprove my cold, uncaring ways/

I repent of hurried, indifferent kisses/

that lack medicinal properties/

I atone for impure, thoughtless motives/

forgive me for my frailties/

let me prove to you my contrite spirit/

submit to you transparently/

the alcove of my adoration/

strengthen the love that fuses we/

Anoint me in the light of heaven/

till passion's flush transforms my frame/

entrust to me your heart's true longings/

commit to me your darkest shame
