We lay awhile,
in that fair & golden city,
as eons crept by us, deep in
blossoms, grapes & beauty, our skins
glistening & entwined beneath the eternal sun,
our bodies washed & purified, made beauteous
by the sweep of the blue green waves, in the fields
beyond the palaces, in the grasses of the great bulls,
we learned the song of the peaceful universe,
we saw the lithe forms of the maidens, sacred to
the wild dances of joy & grace, wreathing the horns
of the gods & splashing in the sensual streams
of the goddess, in the hours of warm & fragrant
midnight we heard the pawing & the great bellows
of the Minotaur Prince down in his starlit caverns,
proud, powerful & versed in the great magic of his domain,
we embraced, we loved, we grew old & young & old again
in the endless enchantments of each other's bodies,
we heard the Great Wave rising, we heard the crash, groan
& rumble as the earth broke beneath the flick
of Poseidon's tail, we watched, we waited,
the world dissolved & suddenly
we kissed inside the stars...
