The ecstasy
exploded
within her.
She wanted to laugh,
to cry,
to scream out loud
At this perfect moment
of ******;
she was whole,
she was alive—
It no longer mattered
If her eyes were
open
or
closed.

Let the king come to the bride’s chamber
And charm all her friends and chambermaids.
Let the princess walk to the knight’s castle
And mesmerize all the guards and pickets.
O where such beauty, lo, where such fate,
When our will is feeble and our love so faint

Wait for me
Eyes closed, dancing
to the rhythm of eros
Where heart and heart meet
where the soul
dances with the soul
There
then

A deeper closeness emerges
All unknowns become known

We bloom into the darkness
Merged with existence
Experiencing the totality of the whole

Into the beautiful coming

I look for your face wherever I go
Whenever I close my outer eyes
Only you I see
Only you I feel
I am bewildered and mad in this love

Catching your eye
Writing you letters
Bathing your body
Sending you flowers
This is all I do now

Your feet on my back
A sun embracing the planets
My spine feels its warmth
Skin rubbing skin
Fading, the separateness
Of our beings

Your walk over me
Strengthening each of my cells
Your joyous laughter
And my mild smile
Begets an atmosphere of ecstasy
This moment

Let’s find a secluded trail
and get lost in the woods;
Let our bodies unite
as trees merge in a forest.

Let us be so close,
our souls fused in love
Like floating sticks in the river,
two hearts coalesced as one.

At first glance,
it won’t slide.
Then, the
sound of wetness
proves me wrong.

Early morning,
our neighbors are awakened
to the song of
two love birds.
