And Into Eternity We Were Destined, Paired
And Into Eternity We Were Destined, Paired
I dreamt of the romantic silken bed we shared
As night's heaving soft-breath matched your beauty divine
And into eternity we were destined, paired
To eat love's sensual feast, forever entwined.
Among the heart's glowings and sweetest of treasures
Lives again, first kiss from your voluptuous lips
Life gave a plenitude of love beyond measure
Yet that heavenly joy away we both let slip.
When the dying sun its saddest weeping rays cast
We knew not that fate and time was so very short
As in deep fervor, we thought love forever lasts
And its faithful renderings nothing could abort.
Alas! Innocence was the blade that our love slew.
In youth's blindness, tragic renderings, I lost you.

*************************
Love's Depths- Feastings Of Sensual Pleasures
From within its breath, that intolerable creep
swirls of dimming mist, echoes of shimmering pains
agonizing as a spear-blade plunged in deep
harvest of the dark- evidence, ill-gotten gains.
Reality- none but the strongest will survive
in this universe, wherein darkness battles light
man, a creature of mortal flesh- briefly alive
vainly celebrates, banquets of his blinded sight.
Dream, its glowings- rivers of nirvana and love
to be, to hold, true blessings of romantic glee
amidst brevity of life, this world's push and shove
paradise, undefeated castle, you and me.
The moment, its bounty, magnificent treasures
Life's truth, Love's depths- feastings of sensual pleasures.
