Love Poem: Rhapsody

Rhapsody

Stay elusive shade
of my beloved
I wish to caress
the rounded hills
of your form...

My hands seek
the fertile valleys
entangled in gentle branches
green and cool
that are you...

You, silent giver
of secret worlds
sweet love of non-illusion
hands of tender leaves...

With obedience of steel
my heart follows your attraction
why lure me with solicitations
only to vanish and depart?

Lay with me
upon bed of sailing ship
unclasp and unzip revealing such beauty
close your eyes and hear my moans
embrace being fully human...

Share my bed
tyranny triumphs over pain
lay next to me in praise of my bed
until the early morning light
brings fresh blues and friendly reds...
