I Remember

 
What musical allusion tonight will bring
Of memories, dreams, scents and sounds
It's been so long, do you remember when
We'd meet and wander, wonder . . . seek and find

In each other, we loved, immersed in timelessness
We'd found that place so rich and fine
Where our senses found the pleasure, oh and what delight
And lost ourselves in candlelight

What satisfaction found, untold
Of two who played and never lost the other's hold
We'd love and grant each other's whims
Our smiles and eyes told all within

We're closer now than ere before
I know that now, I feel you near
Your body, face, caress and gaze
So sweet I know, I can't endure

Lost in your smile I do recall
Oh so familiar you've made me feel
Sentient pleasures I can't forget
And not let loose your precious gift

Satiety, warmth, our bodies, hearts, and minds
Suspend entangled upon the vine
Two fruits attached as if in one
Our breath, the two, they are now One

Moist and sweet of those in love
The gracious delicate impassioned roar
In essence wild, and sometimes tamed, unbridled core
In silent glow and metaphor
