Notes About The Poem

That Moment

When every conscious thought must cease
Held captive till the sweet release

When all else simply falls away
there is no night, there is no day

When life is held in Pleasure's will
and all that clamors becomes...still

When Passion plays her final hand
and all succumbs to her demand

When tremors thunder and excite
In throes of Pleasure's righteous might

When our hands grip and bodies writhe
In wait of crash of coming tide 

When senses are at highest peak
and soul is trembling, breathless, weak

That moment when to self I'm true
is that sweet moment I'm one with you

I love the build-up of passion -- deep and powerful love-passion . . . until that special moment, when two become one in the wonderful world of wild love. The world fades away . . . and for a little while, nothing else matters but the warmth of each others arms and the pounding of hearts! With a pounding heart -- LO!
