Union

The most eloquent word
in your transparent speech,

the most beautiful portrait
in your unmasked face,

the most sensual touch
in your direct presence.


***

The amorous cry of love
in the cry of the cloud,

in your absence
the darkest of nights,

your eyes opening
dawn of sunrise.


***

Examining love is not difficult
even in passing through the needle head of need;
only a momentary hesitation is needed
in time's acceleration.


***

Everlasting union
in peace of mind,

magnificent lovemaking
in fondling with death,

the most beautiful dream
in verging on oblivion.
