@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Epithalamionic Poem For A Young Man, Regarding His BoyFriend's Most Intimate Moment

Seven intensely shuddering surges measure

the release of his sweetness, in long, launched strings

as his body undulates, like J-Waves, to orgasmic pleasure

of which my poem, presenting it here, sings;

oh, how the remembrance resonates and clings.

Old prudes' and haters' prejudice sometimes stings;

but the Loves, as Bion called them, have alleviated

that burden:  they bestow the most exquisite quality

of joy to this young couple's Homosexuality,

and now let it be happily proclaimed and celebrated---

among those of us who are the Initiated.



J-Called


 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The adjective in the title was inspired by Edmund Spenser's poem, Epithalamion (1595).


The Loves to which the seventh line alludes are mentioned in Bion's poem, Lament For Adonis.


The English Poets, P.B. Shelley and Lord Byron, used the term initiated to refer to those who embraced, or sought, or rejoiced in Homosexual Love.
