Earthly Bond Poem by John Rickell

Its been a long time sweetheart,
longer as days drag passed
I miss your voice and laughter
the gentle intercourse we share
that knows no bounds and free.
The right that grows each day
to take our fill of each, to rest
secure, content when passions
die, to resurrect and renew
the cup still full, the nectar
and the mystic oils to mix, a
secret more worth than gold.
Close the curtains one more time
none but me to see your form
none to hold you close, to press
my jealous body against your
eager thighs in pure delight;
to enter, nervous as a virgin lover,
the bower hid between those
lips, smiling welcome to my love
eyes meet one brief time, a blush,
on your cheeks, a kiss;
the moment now demanding
trust to share a sacred gift,
flushed in joy souls fulfilled
joined in common earthly bond.
