Something Sweet

Something sweet

is kindled

by the words that

I speak.

A perfume

like that of roses

You inhale

from my lips.

My tongue licks

the dreamer’s feet and she dances

The slippery dance

of oblivious ecstasy.

We clap our hands

and you with your tambourine

echo the crashing turmoil

of the gods’ love-embattled beds.

This song is the naked goddess

of the wind,

running through the wildflowers,

her feet sticky with nectar.

She is approaching!

Can’t you sense her coming?

For she has been here before...

And this song is not a parable

for it merely rises

and this song has no end

for it merely sparks new songs.

Have you a verse to offer, my love?

Ah, yes. Your kiss like a coda

like the wind

envelops my heart with rapture

and I start again!

Song! Oh, ancient redeemer of souls!

Light that burns naked for all time!

Let me unwind your scroll
For a love that is true and divine!
