beloved i
by Donald Kuspit
embrace of light,
you shredded my darkness,
leaving it limping
in time,
while we overtook
wonder
refreshed by love,
made numinous
by ecstasy.
face to face,
feeling to feeling,
we find the fullness
of being before the fall,
our senses eagerly alerted
to the innocence
of touch,
the caress
of meaning
around our bodies,
bringing them
to boundless consciousness
of our love,
our spirits engaged
in the contemplative care
that gives
us insight into each other.
