Poem
We separated like wave and shore Leaving our feelings bare like sand I heard goodnight and replied in kind There was a love song humming on my mind And I longed to be a butterfly up in the sky Carried in the cuddle of the wind anywhere Far enough from fret and tear. I turned from constructivism to solitaire And the love song in my mind keeps humming there. A shadow across the light at edge of eye A shuffle, a tap, a heart summoning sigh A form between a drape and wall A neglige like wings defining the butterfly The game was done The call of manhood from its cave found light And with the silence the eyes told delight. Appealing womanhood textured by night My life is the opera, how ravishing the beauty of her eyes She showered him, he showered her With praises tender as kisses, with sentiments Sweet as the melt of chocolate in caresses And in their tenderness we were born again A long time coming To the spray of the shower out of the rain How the bed like a calyx welcomed us How your body like petals responded to the chorus Of drizzling sunlight from my fingertips Of cooling balm in the wind on the moon's soft lips Every part of your body was an anthem of praise My love was fount springing up like eternity of days I want to love her always like that night The groom longed to ravish the bride again To lavish on her kisses suckling her toes And play love's concerto on her legs Adante, adante, adante says the opening thighs Allegro, allegro, allegro says desire And I heard the crescendo breaking in my heart When our mouth met in tender places and long again O I long again for the silk sweet of velvet softness For the uncorrupted innocense of flesh with flesh As the wave rolls in to cover the naked shore.
