the Voluptuous see

the fullness
brimming
overflowing cup
of my satiated desire
imitates
the rolling sea
where vague shimmerings
and fiery scintillations
sparkle on the far horizon

between the sea and sky
where
a splendour erupts
before my eyes
an optical joy,
an orgasm of the eyes
holds me in its spasm
shaking my senses;

my swooning
quivering body
surrenders
to the impulse

u turn toward me
sensing something
but seeing only the effect
(not the cause) of my delight

do not concern urself
or attempt to
fathom the soul of a mystic (poet)
or plumb the depths
of a mind that has no end

be content that you alone
have been able to endure
with comfort and ease
this long.

ur close proximity
triggers the totality of my
perceptions
though u remain unaware
of the catalytic power
of ur being
(merging slowly and easily
with mine).

very soon
u will see what i see,
feel what i feel
-- if u wish.

not by way of consolation
do i state --
but know and understand it
profoundly --
the honesty and commitment
of my Love.

[the fluid horizon flares
and glimmers as sea
and sky merge into
One.]
