The Temple of the Ocean

Love is Our highest word,
and the synonym of God
~ R.W. Emerson
The temple of the ocean is far from the path
    that leads to our front door,
but near to the place where you offered
    warm kisses on the curve of my neck.
Our life together is the blessing
    of your reverence.
