There is no greater invitation to love than loving first.  -- Saint Augustine
Infinity Couple - Wood Carving from Bali

for the joy of it

for the joy of it
        you fall asleep in my
    arms.

    for the joy of it
        i awake in
    yours.

    this is holy
sleeping.

you are beautiful
    & as your beauty
        changes, my eyes breathe
deeply.

when we walk, our hands
    enfold & when we
        talk our minds find
    ways to
touch.

there are no
    misunderstandings be
        tween us. i am love's
            disciple & i believe in
you.

i delight in your doings & in your
    not-doings. sharing your smile
        with children, your foot
            prints with the sand, your
    intelligence with your
work.

i crave the sound &
    smell of your
        soul, the
            speech of your
    skin, the way your
        hair enjoys itself on the
            pillow, in the
    sunlight, in the
rain.

angelic though you
    are, my body is glad
        you have a
            body. it is never
    done exploring & mem
        orizing every precious
pore.

it is glorious when human
    bodies kiss. they call this
        making love, but it is

    laughing among the
        stars, being earthly, tasting
forever.

we found each other as
    the maple leaf finds the
        maple tree ...
            through the
    roots. our hugs are purest
gold.

my heart has be
    come your heart &
            hearts need no
    words for how they
beat.

so when death comes,
    it can take
        nothing, for love is
            a blessing, a miracle,
    a story without
end.
