Love in the Afternoon

“Love affects more than our thinking and our behavior toward those we love. It transforms our entire life.” Thomas Merton.


I wish
we could live
forever,

our bodies throbbing
with endless desire,
rising higher
with inexorable fire!

Then would I love you
unceasingly, like the  sun
embracing with eternal light
the constant moon,
beloved wife.
