The wind whipped the canvas tarp, 
rain pricked the pavilion with the 
accuracy of a Master Archer,
weak seams were laid wide.

Upon bodies warm and wet with loving,
teardrops fell, a baptism of desire cleansed
spirits too long lost to the pleasures of the flesh.

Wind chimes rang like church bells hearkening 
atonement while in the womb-like blackness,
filled with pheromones of passion and marked 
with a plethora of moans, the lovers lay.

Unlike others I always saw lovemaking a beautiful, poetical union of body and soul. I see it's not only I who feels that. Let it rain outside, let it rain inside - a baptism of desire cleanses spirits too long lost to the pleasures of the flesh"- beautiful poem, Deborah.
