No Other Lifetime

I don’t seek another lifetime There is only here and now Only these days and these hours I have to make it last somehow Only on this day to savor Tender touch of body bliss Only in the NOW to treasure Give and take of hungry kiss Here and now is what is gifted Here and now I take a stand All of life, and each desire Now must bow to my command I will bathe in passion’s pleasure Dip into desire’s hue Lose myself in wanton wonder Wrap myself in me and you Life another place won’t offer And no other heaven waits Nothing but the here and now, Love Enter through MY pearly gates Here I am; I lie here waiting For the haven of your arms Squeeze a lifetime in this moment Let me revel in your charms Here and now, don’t keep me waiting On your lips is heaven’s taste All the joy that can be gathered Waits on these lips, cherry laced Here I am, no promised morrow This may be my last of nights Never waking to the sunlight Never knowing your delights In this sacred tryst between us Is the time for love to bloom Here and now, is all we have, Love Let our pleasures time consume In the union of our bodies In the beauty of this place Is eternal timeless glory In our hearts it leaves its trace Eileen Manassian
