Adonis,my man

Toward the door of life, itself, I stagger helplessly.
In spite of liquid, palms and knees, ever so slowly, 
I close the gorge. "Am I in a tunnel?", I ask myself.
The sound of me breathing is an immense distraction now!
My heart is sinking and soaring, sinking and soaring,
sinking and soaring..."How do I love Thee...?" How?
I reach out to grasp the handle of life with trembling
fingers: They have betrayed my stoicism. What shame! 
Immediately, I flinch at the coldness felt there.
I shiver. Then, a luscious warmth envelopes me. My Body
is itching, red, almost burning now from something resembling 
desire. "Get a grip!", I almost shout to myself, "He's but a
man." "But, he is My man...", I argue back, "my mystery man
and..." Click!  Squeak! There! It is done. I have arrived.
The door of life unfolds for me in all its splendor. 
I glance slowly up from the angle of the knob to spy a vision.
"My God!", I squealed from within, "Adonis!" I stood still
with patient time. So mesmerized, was I, by the aura of
this manly being, I failed to close my, now, sensuously
formed lips, which left me sinfully vulnerable. "But,
isn't that what I really wanted...needed," I whispered
loudly to myself, "to be loved, unconditionally, even if
it hurt?" With that thought, Adonis, my man, my mystery man
slipped forward, took me into his welcome arms, and in one
slowly agonizing,yet tantalizing kiss, consumed me!
I melted back and ever so gently shut my closet door.
"I will return, Adonis, my man, forever more."
