Another Callous God

I

Until that dreadful, heart-thumping moment     
  I had been completely unaware 
     That a beautiful perfection
Such as yours could so singularly exist...
  Being in ever greater amounts of 
     Unparalleled loveliness!
And how, someday, I should learn something  
  Of wishful atonement;
    Recalling again the quickly-flung stare
      Suggestive of a bewildering affection:- 
Your rude, opened mouth forcefully kissed,
  The horrid pause, then...the slow unhitching
    Of your chiffon dress.

John, your poem reminds me of a passionate kiss in an elevator my husband (my fiancee at the time) gave me in the middle of an argument. I think I saw stars! I felt every emotion in this splendid piece! I loved this! I always enjoy your poetry. Sorry I haven't been around in so long. Hugs, Connie xxoo
