Desire

Massage your mind with wondrous imaginings 
Delight in the flavor of loving life 
for the child in each of us 
retains love's initial innocence. 

Marvelous feelings flowing freely from the 
fount of my soul 
Lips spewing forth breathless platitudes 
Endless litanies of life's longings. 

Can one be sure of passionate desire? 
But more than passion, eons past desire 
Complete giving of oneself to the warmth 
of another 

Lissom bodies languishing in love's long embrace 
Charged corpuscles racing through 
the pulsating arteries of passion's 
highways. 

Oh sweet desire 
ever driving me forward through life's 
back roads 
Helping me to discover the far reaches of 
emotion's wide spectrum 
Enabling me to feel, with all that is you, 
a oneness 
a totality 
a summation of my existence. 

O' fragile daughter of Cytherea 
dare I desire you with all-consuming passion 
To become one with you. 
Dare I kneel before you with sweet desire 
To take you on life's lustful journey 
Dare we bow before love 
To ride the passionate chariot of Eros? 

Massage your mind with wondrous imaginings, 
my love 
Delight in the flavor of loving life 
for the maturity within us 
preserve's love's rapture.
