This morning, up early, walked the dog in the dark 

Around the block, couldn't see, really quite a lark

Except - out across the other side of the N.Y. lake

Where tiny pinpoints of light in still quiet breaks



Scattered amidst reflections in water's surface

So many, the darkness was alive with purpose

Awed, continued - gazing out across the eerie scene

Wondered how much more light could be in the beam



Which shined over us as we did devour each other

Hungrily lapping up all the juices as we lay on covers

Hours dwindled by as the sun moved around the room

And the wonder you are, seeped over me without gloom



Again and again, the flow poured out of you from inside

As my teeth nibbled and tongue darted about the sides

And bittersweet odors flooded over me time and again

As time moved so slowly and you doused me like rain



Loving every single moment you shared self with me

So much of you to give - it felt so good and totally free

The swamp of your love overflowed - so very often

My own ability to let go was overshadowed as cotton



Threads, sometimes got in the way of my full vision

Which opened and closed regularly as our fusion

Of minds, bodies, hearts, souls and even spirits

Came together in a mass of limbs, transfixed ...
