Poetry: Joy in love

by John Browne Ayes

Created on: January 04, 2007   Last Updated: May 14, 2007

We two

Caught up in passion's sweet embrace

Fiery - swirling energies beyond our control (so it would seem).

Exhausted we lay reveling in the moments bliss

Knowing all too well its fleetingness.



A sweet kiss - one last embrace before sleep

Snatches and separates...

TAO

The quickening

Love's fire internalized - reabsorbed

Split, contracted, expanded.

An ancient story told and retold

Atoms and their molecules rumbled - jumbled

Into living flesh transforming.



Our daughter, Son of the Sun

Sweet child of the world

But more of the heavens

Perfections story told and retold.



And the future?

Just the past running ahead of itself

By actions preconceived. Not to worry

Just a story told and retold.
