together…

fingertips trace cherry lips
lily tips part
satin pathways slick
elemental desires
Drip
Slip
Enfold
breathless delight
and we within our need
heed the call
the throbbing vow of
silk with steel
oh sweetest heat
of thus and thus and thus and
so the velvet vortex spins
every thrust a soiled expectation
glorious Mystery
claiming bodies alone yet not
proclaim-ing
the ‘we’ of ‘us’
if only
(we breathe)
if only
time and space might
Obliterate
Implode
Suspend
suspend us in the supposing
that he and she no longer partner
in this dance of a thousand waiting dawns
and just in this
the simple telling
of all that is joy
betwixt friend and lover
this simple light
the shining shadow of every day life
might bring us to pause
a place of rest
together
