Poetry

(after Robert Browning, for my wife Daleen)
 
All other things, people that I do know
have got no value when we fuse together,
even the times when we are apart
when there is a greater distance between us
have got no kind of significance in this moment
when we enter life, enter into the core of ecstasy,
when we are one with you around me
and then kisses are solemn
as if nothing else can be something more than this,
when all of life comes together as genuine and true
with our souls, our senses and feelings in a single moment
when we meet each other each to each
in the union between you and me;
in bliss, and we are enraptured
and life is on that moment eternally great and good.
