Ne Plus Ultra

Ne plus ultra

How do you write about an Epic love?
A love that eclipses time.
Is that possible anymore?

What about a love so Hurculean
so potent that mountains crumble before it,
with kisses that exhaust the heavens?

I want to tell the world how it feels
when your skillful hand is on my head 
bringing me in for another kiss.

Your eyes take possession of my soul.
With a look you have stolen me from the world.
Our faces close, feeling your breath on my lips.
Knowing that in a moment we will be entwined.

Passersby will be unable to tell one of us from the other,
as our lips gently brush 
in the parting of your mouth.

Estuaries meshing into one.
One body,
one heart,
one soul,
in our ne plus ultra love.
Our ultimate perfect love.
