Wonder

(this needs no explanation)

Lying beside you in the early light
drinking in the glorious sight....
the perfect shape
from heel to nape

Delight

You gave yourself to me
in what seemed to be...
utter abandonment....
and I wonder as I watch
you breathing in and out
just what unknown depths
still remain....

Will you hold me away?
.... keep a distance between
which though we touch
there's a thousand miles tween...

How can I cross that gulf
and be one with your soul?

I wonder about this
as I drink in the wonder of you.
