Two Love Poems
‘Now plot no meetings’
Now plot no meetings but accept
That we shall meet
And always at this moment,
Both in pleasuring.
For we are forged in crucibles of bliss
Intense beyond our souls’ coherences,
With bodies fissioned by a desperate joy
To break down – infinite reactions –
Each burning each to breed of timeless gold.
Sharing Sorrows
After two days of May-made wonder,
Once more the gouge of love
Carving the anxious hollow,
And my last harshness come again
To fight this unasked hurt in me;
Turning self – anger inwards
Mine, your pain tearing.
Then in that dawn,
Acceptances.
Both paired to burdens
In a bond of loss,
To gain such love
That gladly we must cry each others’ tears.
