Desire

In dreams I undress
with a youthful hunger
obsessed with the mysteries
of you.

I will not conceal my longing
with senseless fig leaves
for while I am merely naked
you are immortal.

Her body rises when I kiss her mouth
knowing not where I end and she begins
pistol and stamen
intoxicating flower.

Drowning in waves
lifted by her lips and fingertips
desire structuring the world
created in an instant

and then in a moment collapsing
annulling the world
created and destroyed
without end.

The crescent moon knows
what I feel for you
and would leave the sky
the stars, the night to follow me
as you would if you were free.
