Love And Pleasure



Love And Pleasure

Love and pleasure take their shape as us
Entwined in our embrace two hearts
Breathe through our boundaries
Touching places unseen
Feeling deeply and connected
We open as scented blossoms
Petals and roots of color
Unfolding our bodies in the open.

Love and pleasure make love unguarded
Wrapping what we feel for us
Together becomes our new being
Forming what we can’t hold back
Your garden is now my soil
Where I grow my fiery plant
Our flames burn so warm
We transform the night into morning.

Love and pleasure are lying down as one
So spent in each others arms
And the stars appear to ripple
With the moon applauding our union
Peace and security blooms
Carrying our scent into the breeze
Life is now complete because
You and I are naked together.
