A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - ECSTATIC UNION

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - ECSTATIC UNION

ECSTATIC UNION

I look at her,
my girl, and
 I want to hold her,
 embrace her,
tell her,
 by some magic ,
 how beautiful and
 precious she is.

She is too good,
 almost not true,
 yet real,
 functioning, living.

It seems
like a miracle ,
this thing before me.

I kiss her,
hold her,
 and a madness
seizes me.

Suddenly I find ,
 in the act,
 the way to tell her
and a way
to express,
my own deep self,
 simultaneously,
miraculously!

I laugh, in
 astonishment,
as always.
 I prize it, hold it ,
 a precious secret.

She closes her eyes
 and we sink deep
into an ecstatic union.

It goes on and on
and we seem
to reach the limit.

I cannot believe it
 and then it hits us
and we know
in that moment
what life is-
final, complete,
 nothing left
 to be desired ever.
