As I lay surely dying in your arms—

My mind and body spent, float timelessly

Upon that endless ocean of your charms;

My sovereign soul so softly sojourns here

Adrift upon sweet rapturous delight,

That soothing calm beyond the raging storm,

Both nerve and sinew reft of mortal might.

Descending now, a heart late glory borne,

Awed detumescence of dear fantasies …

Fading now, daydreams enrapt in gloam—

Slow waning light, succumbing then to sleep.

The vital force of living fiber—gone

Sinking surely to a warm and blissful peace,

By mermaids songs to some deep cavern drawn

A soul transfixed, by love and lust replete;

  Now full ensconced in shadows soft, serene…

  Not caring who I am…or where I’ve been.
