There have been a lot of poetry posts on Serge lately and I've been
reluctant to post this there because of that, but I thought I'd send it to
y'all.  Special thanks to Audra for helping me tweak the first few lines
into shape. 

Union

Your body burns me
Etched on my gaze
Your nakedness
Spread on the sheets
Arched, transfixed
You
By me
Pale, ecstatic
Stormy eyes hidden
Red mouth panting, open
I drink you
I become you
Inseparable
Flesh and sweat and love
An offering
Of desire
Mind and heart and soul
I give you
Myself


c. 1999

other people looking at it. --Winnie the Pooh (A.A. Milne)
