Blimey... this is a bit of a scorcher - "Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!" :)) This sounds to be a total consummation and all-consuming, and does, indeed, sound like the highest to which "material" mind, body and spirit can aspire and experience on this mortal plane: a foreshadowing of the arrival of the next "heaven on earth" that you Biblically speak of here (so many think that heaven is somewhere "upwards" instead of being founded upon a "new earth" - from this point of view your Heaven is very creationist!) Apart from that, call me weird (OK, "weird!") but the imagery of lips touching and absorbing each other speaks to me of the communal activity we do as poets: translating thoughts, words and speaking/articulating in some shape or form each other's work, like in this collective consciousness I keep beefing on about. Funny that, cos, at college, I was called "the poet of concensus": my natural empathy was a like a voice speaking for the Chorus; a "communal 'I'". So I LOVE this both in the personal voice and in this interpreted collective one. And it also smacks a little to me of Burning Brightly, which, for some reason, I've been listening to heaps over the past week or so. Them's me thoughts, O Lip-Tingler. LOL Kate xx
Your art of expression is rom deep within your heart rom experince or just what you want, feel or saw. writing is such a beautiful thing. We can write about anything that we feel or want. God bless.
Activates Heavenly paradise like Sauternes wine yeast and one Campden tablet when touched by lips, Rose wine in all of its saccharine essence. Defining Paradise is when the cork is drawn and the wine is poured carefully down the inside wall---> "When our lips absorbed each other’s tongues." You have the poetry making down, Jude---you will sell no wine before it's time! Love this write!
Every line, image, and 'ripple of the universe' in this poem overflows with a true vision of paradise sought and discovered.

Dear Ace,
If the words “I love you” are true, then this would, indeed, be an arrival of heaven on earth. So rare, this paradise, and so fortunate are those who find it.
Love & Light,
Joseph

To find one's mate is truly paradise as you have shared within this write.
It is only 65 degrees here in my office but I am reeling from the heat. This is the true core of romance when the fire of the spirits joins and creates a universe of their own. Fabulous write, Jude!! I am struggling to get my cardio rhythms back in sync...LOL I left you a message about the Septcouplet.
Take care,

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
