Body Capture

Words will fail here
but my touch will not;
it moves from surface
to deep within.

Mere sentiment too,
is not enough
when Souls Speak
and the body gives
all its got-

willingly and involuntarily;

you know what I mean.

Only once or twice in all of life
does this fire ignite
all the rest is pursuit
of re-occurances.

Now let's end that futile pursuit
and have Release Soul-Strip
come direct
even after touch is ceased;
for to know all is to understand
touch is first
but not the last.

What transpires inside Sheer Desire
is Surrender Plus Exploding Need,
trembling inside Love's Flaming Pyre.

So let this flame
burn, cackle like fire wood,
trembling lurches;
body-fire
which is the Soul's way of saying
'I love you best.'

Mind, Heart and Spirit
agree haltingly
take us both
smells, scents, glistening sweats
to where

we both
have never been.

This is what
life's goals really promise
after Love even,
after beautiful romance, love and sentiment
after every precious word
these all lack meaning
if there is no body-capture
deep within
and trembling
surrender
willingly given
and received.
