Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 42. Armistice and Sea Journey: Two Sonnets
Armistice
How often have I told you of the tide
of molten heat that flows beneath my skin,
a flame untamed and uncontained therein
which could not be extinguished if I tried?
For decades has desire been denied;
I drowned my very self in warring din
with accusations of abhorrent sin,
and still against the carnage have I cried.
Today, I waved the flag to sue for peace,
as all my inner ramparts were revealed;
and in your arms I hoped to find release,
in gentle, sweet surrender did I yield;
a tender hand's caress made hurt to cease,
and all my last defenses came unsealed.
Sea Journey
Last night I rode a crested tide of dream
where you and I were closely intertwined,
our bodies and our spirits were combined
delectably in postures so supreme
description has no power to redeem;
together were the galaxies aligned
to shower us with pleasures so refined
each fiber of my being had to scream.
And now I have no notion but to crave
a journey as a swimmer on the sea,
to ride upon your steady ocean wave,
arising to a wondrous apogee,
anticipation on my visage grave
of plunging down unto a pleasure free.
