*She was morning
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
"Come take me."
*Neil Diamond~~

renewing the moments
of peace,

Diamond knew we
were looking for
it,

a waterfall so
intense, play me,

standing together
midstream,

it is here standing
that I have heard
the most evocative
sounds,

beads on water
lilies, petals wide

we shower as
ancient Sumeria,
supreme expression
of our creativity,

the sexual ethos
inspires erotic text,
"the opening lotus bud
perfumed like the lily
that has newly burst."

a religious-erotic
discourse, the
Sumerian tableaux,
far more important
than carnal pleasure,

standing beneath our
waterfall, we are
refined, practised,
and developed to a
level of sophistication
that we become a
basis for philosophical
and religious thought,
play me...

*You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me.
*Neil Diamond~~
