The Symmetry of Love

How can Euclidian geometry Describe such perfect symmetry Such soft and velvet hills Of love, and drink, it fills How can such perfection of bend Of dune that dips to dimple Be caressed – not a ripple! As age has passed by Untouched, as tips of trees the sky The blue veins tattooed Under skin inverse to soot Inverse to rhyme, sublime! Warm to the touch, the tongue The taste, the subtle kiss of peach Always just Out of reach The moonlight surrounds the lines So softly, so sable-brushed As your sleep smiled breath My love against soft pillows crushed
