My First Poem by Lonnie Hicks

She:
I freeze Time this night
in making love to you
your mouth has within it forever-ness:
you've restored to me my mental virginity
in this my love-making with you

releasing those sexual bonds
which wrap around existence itself
making time cease
making my woman-hood feel complete
me taking your man-hood
making it meld
with my woman-side

He:

I feel you shudder
wrapping your heart
around me
embracing my need
drawing from me
more than
I have ever given
making me rise for you
making me complete;
you and I
gasping.

It is not merely the touching
but too, the release:
not merely the holding
but the sweling out-
the overwhelming
needful need;

not merely
our quiverings
but too the inhalings
in
and the trembling outs
the welcoming intensities
the thrusting;
animal lust
and the clinging

loving

simultaneously.

Draw away;
this moment now
because

my opening soul
seeks eternity
propelled by gushing
crying
gratitude
and
our hungry mouths
kissing.
