ENTERING COUPLEDOM

in a drowning inferno

of seductive liquid love

I sneak to sit beside your soul

you are my earth bound heaven

without a beginning

and no end seems to tap upon your door

why there is a passion

in even your presence

you smell of love's finest candor

and the sweetest of all romantic addictions

such an unforced attraction

draws me

as such

man's simplest need

fearlessly revealed

in a near tidal wave

to me

with no amount of timid conviction

know that

upon this woman's shoulders

a cascade of pale pure hearted light

finally

filters out

the before

improbable sense

of doomed oneness

at last

I feel the fledgling force

of what I once only dreamed

a deep loving male

presence

in my life

a true love's mate

all this

from a man surprisingly

just like you

I just pray

in this unguarded instant

that illusion plays no bruising large part

and my hapless though hesitant heart

receives its tender most just due

your love

in great strong streams

with no time limit

place upon

its duration.....
