Something Greater.
We pair of home-comers
from heavy baggage built star-light ardour.
A bright corner where care melted old scars.
The happy fit of regenerative hand-in-glove
pleasure we dared admit then
ignored forbidden arenas to autumnal lovers.
We fuelled an idyll, risked rebuff for lit delight.
Fresh as youth we drew from aridity lust\'s fire.
Tenderness stoked heat in forgotten feelings
and blazed sparks of sensuous yield.
Gentle the harvest as
bounty unleashed bequeathed extra spice
by eating what ripened.
I thrived in surrender to offered affinity.
He let loose abandon and I did not resist.
He re-sculpted existence, accessed future
freedom and unfastened
this latched-up former conformist.
Beautiful man, his breath
warmed the breast of compatible essence,
toned any slack in doubt\'s
short-sighted signal and de-misted
shy\'s myopic look-out.
Love was something greater than flesh
and that better otherness
I shall ever remember.
Oh unforgettable man
he captured destiny, stole my heart
and now he holds it forever.
