Perfect Wonder

In our wonderland for lovers

The wonderland we find,

We begin with touch

When we close our eyes

Bringing every need and feeling along

To slide on skin, sharing warmth, quieting hunger,

Pulling dreams

Up to the surface of things

Out of sleeves, and bridles,

As we rise -

To meet in moonlight

To stars and stars, and Us

Naked beach, open water, and our longing

Caressed and heightened by all the sparkling lunar luminescence in sight

Drinking, savoring the wine

Of delicious body meets body, delicious mind meets mind,

Tasting, breathing, rising,

Higher and higher

And when the drumming surrounds us

Thundering heartbeats, ours,

It is Perfect Wonder 

To fall seamlessly into the rhythm,

Into ourselves

And the sky inside -

Every journey, every change

Every moment without

Fixing into place

Coming alive

Exploding like dynamite -

For as the world around turns on its axis

We turn on our love

A spinning sanctum 

Where heaven and earth kiss over and over 

And in moments all our days and nights collide.

And when the drumming surrounds us

Thundering heartbeats, ours,

It is Perfect Wonder

To fall seamlessly into the rhythm,

Into ourselves

And the sky inside -
Those are myfaves in this nice poem...
