Eros and Thanatos

I dream of us:

Head to chest,

Lips to nape of neck

Fingers to palm,

Eyes to heaven.

Feet to moon,

Heartbeat to heartbeat,

Breath to breath,

 Song to song.

Temperament of gods,

Love of the ancients,

Impious desire,

Mutual surrender.

Perpetual pleasure,

Futile resistance,

Spirit to flesh,
Shadow to light.
