Eternity was in our lips and eyes
But I found it in between your
hips and thighs
That
no-man's-land where
feckless fear to tread
And countless come, and die, and leave not dead
Like
Orpheus, necronaut of the abyss,
I took the plunge and then returned with this:
As trembling as a leaf upon the wind,
Your ecstasy, like
Echo's sighing twin...
Then, breathing heavy, full of blushing hue,
You sat up and said,
"Okay, now let's do you."
