Ode to Joy

I have but one last grasp of fluid reality;
I have been loved.
For one thick moment, I was consumed with and devoured by.
A lullaby; your breath, rock me to sleep.

I hang in time suspended by a memory of you.
After all this space and music, I still linger close.
This euphoric spasm lasts but a flicker.
A lullaby; sing me into your dream.

I awake the same.  The same as now - not as before.

I have been the fortunate one - I have made your love.
Like and Ode to Joy in my heart, you play lead.
You are my energy, my beat; same pause as before.
A lullaby; your scent, fills me with heady rumors of love.

All this I knew from one tender kiss.
Heaven in your pout.
