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.....
