Choix de Deux

"choix de deux"
after Rilke
for Lauren.

the angels dream
and yet we mortals act on their yearnings.

a dull yet burning
passion drives us
thru the night
when memory dims.

moving out of the silent garden
creating melodies of their own \
they sing out of shapeless lips

your hair they whisper
your breasts they sigh
the curve of your hips they cry

on winds awakened by deisire
we ride thru the night with lusts' slanted eye-view
clinging to the burning.

motions of tenderness shaped by unseen hands guide us
to open ever deeper the longing to become whole

and day by day
the scar will be
a well kept secret.
