One Hundred and Fifty-Five Sonnets - 52. like a falling leaf
.
Sonnet No. 103
Too often we might forget, communion
Is in the heart of communication –
And in its way, so too is discipline
Lost in the force of deliberation.
But content can be abstractly charted,
Like dolphin song on an X-Y layout,
Though we won't speak it, knowledge is imparted,
For the forty-five-degree cant leaves no doubt.
So too, expressions of love are genuine
When they don't fall to generalization –
And they can plot all the meaning herein
That points to substance without hesitation.
What language may yet try to discover,
Love's intuition can always uncover.
Sonnet No. 104
The other night, when you teased me and went to bed,
Did you really think I'd prefer my TV show,
And not trail you to where your silent footsteps led? –
Oh no, from the bedroom doorway I watched you go,
And settle yourself like a leaf upon the sheets;
One moment, eyes to the light, the next gliding down,
For every inch your body a graceful arc meets
When your head finally makes my pillow your crown.
But, it was the smile that you turned on me right then,
With its blend of love and observation,
That told me our best lovemaking would soon begin,
So I stepped to you in calm exhilaration.
I too felt like I was a falling leaf,
Settling on your body in disbelief.
