Terpsichore Behind the Mask - 5. Estampie

Herein find the fifth encounter between sooth and sentiment. These stanzas continue to be unmistakably erotic. I'm most grateful to @AC Benus and @asamvav111 for their help in improving them. However, any and all errors are mine alone.

Estampie

 

I don’t mind

you speaking the blunt truth,

so whisper me of your heart’s desire;

tell me how you want me, as my want mirrors yours,

as the lock longs for its one true key,

equal in yearning for

your entry.

 

Build in us

oneness from our pieces,

lay us down connected, tongue in groove,

the time for imagining and framing all past;

for now is the moment of fusion,

and the fullness of the

designer.

 

Hold me still,

lodge yourself more deeply;

let us be dovetailed in construction,

tightly made one creature as divine joinery,

your body weighing upon my back,

while whispered words bind us

together.

 

As the thole

needs its forge-hammered pin,

the mortise craves its crafted tenon,

so does my emptiness beg your sublime return;

close-fitting perfected craftsmanship

will bind us together

deep and tight.

 

Held tightly,

your body as my bed,

impaled by your slender loving blade,

each reciprocal thrust and sigh brings us closer,

kiss after kiss, whimper by whimper,

until your love slays us

together.

 

That moment

you had to close your eyes,

when your hands’ grip on my hip left marks,

and every golden second split into fragments;

it was then I let go and left earth

only falling to heaven

in your arms.

AC Benus

Very evocative, and wonderfully effective in portraying the ultimate position the lovers find themselves in (one of my faves, if that's not TMI, for exactly the connectedness you describe). However, it's the spiritual dimension a few of the stanzas reach for that will stick with me. Like the following one, which achieves near-Psalm intensity questing for a higher union:

 

Build in us

oneness from our pieces,

lay us down connected, tongue in groove,

the time for imagining and framing all past;

for now is the moment of fusion,

and the fullness of the

designer.
