once soothing to two
wherever time was
(throughout our relationship at times there was harmony)
lovers
in the moment
(that moment in time when we engaged in sex)
in music of the man who nature dances to
(god was with us)
wrestle in the wind
feel their existence
(and in our love of nature we felt our existence and we were with god)
on nothing they roll
(our love levitated us)
unaware of cold
(we felt nothing but one another)
swim the desert sand
(lost in our unconscious)
and she
wearing his smoking jacket
(and when it was done we were still one)
then it starts again
(our sexual experience continues)
the touch of chains
as they mesh explosive
on the edge of a steel rip
(bondage and trust on the cutting edge of our experimentation)
an hour of talking
(we talk)
then their bare flesh together
in their source
timed
(once again we bond in the making of love)
the crackling sound
of their intercourse
(our sounds like fireworks)
as in a filmstrip
(and we go beyond reality)
and once again
a thousand explosions
(as our orgasms are multiple and explosive)

With Love
Maurice Yvonne
Random occurrence has left me bewildered,
dazed in amazement…night upon day
as I eat, as I am and as I lay,
my body is filled with butterflies.
All that is now of the nothingness that was,
unexplained from mundane to the insane,
like a filmstrip on its wheel ticking round
to the sound of a heartbeat.
Energy’s heat eats up my words…
Devoured by interest into that place between spaces,
we collide in a spectrum of two shared minds.
We hide behind our grey cloaks like clockwork
afraid of the black and white of our time,
craving existence of sublime.
A whole world wraps around your life
as if it has been with you before.
A brilliant light through autumn’s door,
with magical colours in constant clashing
unexpected…unexplored.
As you are in your world and I am in mine,
my thoughts travel across time.
Passed buildings, oceans and rolling hills
and finds you there in your solitude
like the breath of fresh air…
I am captivated by you.
