insatiable night
the hungry room was dark
bedroom door ajar
you stood there naked
bathed in hallway light
cool autumn was calling
colour falling in the park
passion under southern stars
passionate you
impassioned I
goddess Venus
warrior Mars
making love
as we were falling
when we finally slept
we dreamed of galaxies
visions full of stars
each time we woke
we were still on fire
all those naked words
we dissolutely spoke
slipping onto that bedroom floor
dripping love
flowing with fervent desire
while serpents slithered
whether snakes
or broken ladders
all those ardent love games
so much cosmic magic
always wanting more
