no subtle dance of words
to gild with moonlight
the language of attraction?
No deep sight of loss
while swimming in the pool
of your eyes?
We set one with another,
ignoring the dance of fireflies in the night,
to find eyes only for each other,
and the dance of bodies
turned to dragons,
entwined in the midst of love's flight...

all gossamer wings and jeweled eyes,
bodies joined in love’s embrace,
oblivious to the dangers
of rushing rocky reality…
two made one,
in one grand fall from grace….
time and distance
must bow before this union,
for oblivion,
locked in love’s flight
is a dream all share….

Must we wake from this,
fantasy made real,
beyond belief?

Can we not live here forever,
isolated by the sea of love,
an island paradise,
built on trust,
cooled by comfort
and warmed with desire….

Where now are the snowy wings of conversation?
Lost in the movement?
Lost in the breath?
Lost in the transcendence of pleasure?

Fly with me now.
Fly with me away.
Up to yon starry sky!

And the moonlight
will gild our wings with silver,
and our eyes with pearls,
as we as one fall in…

Love’s diamond cascade!
