Of Lovemaking
Of Lovemaking
Leena Doley
In the alternate universe
That we live in
You have already
Made love to me
In all ways possible
Except in the basic way
That normal people do
Do you think you can top that
Ethereal lovemaking
Belonging not to this world
But to a secret universe
That only we have the keys to
You told me that the
First embrace
Relegates love
To an earthly occupation
So why don’t we let that
Lovemaking continue
And not come down to this
World of earthly whims
And sorrows
Where time keeps watch
And the world awaits us
To be one with their
Ordinariness
Let’s continue in that universe
Visited by wonder and beauty
Untouched by the superficial, the ordinary
Let our souls and minds
Continue their uninhibited discourse
Where time has no relevance
Where the sun doesn’t peep
Reminding us of inconsequential things
Let us remain
As wonderful and untouchable as we are
To the world
And to each other
Exploring each other
Basking in the wonder
Of all that our souls share
Lustrous shining
