-- The Ultimate Share --

John Herlihy

 

Clothes ripped

Kisses sipped

The body on fire

Rampant desire

Panting breath

Till nothing left

Muscles taut

Pleasures sought

Acrobatic stunts

Animal-like grunts

 

Mutual rhythms

In light of prisms

Real-time fantasy

In living ecstasy

Intermingled sweat

Expectations met

The whites of eyes

Whispers and cries

The final thrill

As first time still

 

Fallen from heaven

As bread unleavened

Back here on earth

This renewed birth

Breathing content

Feeling oh so spent

Legs intertwined

As hearts unwind

The mind subdued

The body lies nude

 

Rumpled linen

Mouths grinnin’

Lying akimbo

Mumbling jumbo

Sky moonlit

Fireflies flit

Night cries

Wind sighs

Pillow soft

Heads aloft

 

And now the love

This cooing dove

Not anything lacks

Light seeps into cracks

Sparkles in the mind

Seeing things blind

No feelings compare

The ultimate share

Body, mind, soul

Three-two-one whole

An absolutely charming and--in its own way--a triumph of dedication to sharing. Perfect.
