Love Poem
We made love last night
beneath the stars.
The moon's Cycloptic eye
unblinking
staring us down
uncovering our bodies of the darkness
like naked roots
we tangled ourselves
thighs above heavy fruit
shiny as winter chestnuts.
Body of the man I love-
bitten mouth, tangerine lips
rose petal surprise of tongue,
I could wander continent
of your golden valleys
without ceasing
and delight each day
in doscovering
a new dawn
rising from the depths
of your mysterious being.
