I WILL LET YOU FALL

           "I will let you fall                  

as if in slow motion -                        

tumbling and turning through          

tumultuous clouds                                

 of emotion                                         

from the edge of reason -

descending slowly, deeper,

into passion’s possessive

grip -   
                    I will let you slip

            I will save you

as if by Grace -

ordained by Venus

before she knew

 time or place.

As none before

expansive, enlightened

piercing the carapace

of your hardened core -  

             I  will love you

             I will feed your  soul  
                                                                                                                                 
    from the bounty  of excess

filling your mind - bathing your body

 with the softest caress.

Alas! Again and again

  my longing  I must subjugate

lest my heart and soul I alienate...

Perhaps someday
 the pleasures of  loving you will subside                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

For now Fate has writ ... it must  be denied. 

More than sunlight shines,

or  the moon’s reflection

  memories magnify -

             I shall miss you.
