Love Scene
We separated like wave and shore
Leaving our feelings bare like sand
I heard goodnight and replied in kind
There was a love song humming on my mind
And I longed to be a butterfly up in the sky
Carried in the cuddle of the wind anywhere
Far enough from fret and tear.
I turned from constructivism to solitaire
And the love song in my mind keeps humming there.
A shadow across the light at edge of eye
A shuffle, a tap, a heart summoning sigh
A form between a drape and wall
A neglige like wings defining the butterfly
The game was done
The call of manhood from its cave found light
And with the silence the eyes told delight.
Appealing womanhood textured by night
My life is the opera, how ravishing the beauty of her eyes
She showered him, he showered her
With praises tender as kisses, with sentiments
Sweet as the melt of chocolate in caresses
And in their tenderness we were born again
A long time coming
To the spray of the shower out of the rain
How the bed like a calyx welcomed us
How your body like petals responded to the chorus
Of drizzling sunlight from my fingertips
Of cooling balm in the wind on the moon's soft lips
Every part of your body was an anthem of praise
My love was fount springing up like eternity of days
I want to love her always like that night
The groom longed to ravish the bride again
To lavish on her kisses suckling her toes
And play love's concerto on her legs
Adante, adante, adante says the opening thighs
Allegro, allegro, allegro says desire
And I heard the crescendo breaking in my heart
When our mouth met in tender places and long again
O I long again for the silk sweet of velvet softness
For the uncorrupted innocense of flesh with flesh
As the wave rolls in to cover the naked shore.
