Worth the Wait

How inadequate it would be
for me to say
you have been well worth the wait.
Human beings feel this
loneliness bone-deep, a great hunger
a yearning to feel
the greatest experience, the right
mating of body and heart.

Deliberate Love

The capacity to love with
body and soul
is within one's control.
Deliberate love should take hold
of desire
and want with all that
raging heart.

Surviving

A great fatigue: this
stagnant point
in my poisoned body.
My corpse-like face
nothing to you, my love.
I was surviving.

Life Is Electricity

Who knows anything about life?
The human body is merely
a mechanism.
Life is electricity, running
vital substance in these bodies.

Existence of Happiness

It is strange
how the existence of happiness
completes your heart
even when body is gone.
Men seldom cherish
the solace of declining years.
