Oh my. This is a very interesting poem, given the time it was written. So the allusion is quite naked here (see what I did there?), and free for all to see. But here's the thing, it was written before I had any experience in the matter. Which would make this piece juxtaposed with the expectation of intimacy. Read on, have fun. Maybe I will write on the matter again.
Silence. Darkness.
A blinding light.
You shade your eyes
Cower under its brilliance.
The winds grow stronger
A memory of warmth
Of love, does surrender
Heat waves crash;
Burn and scald the skin
A feverish smile
Finds pleasure in the pain
All is gone, lost, forgotten
Your past, your present
A voice, across oceans
Is the only surviving reality
Shiver. It’s cold.
Insecurity that chills
Ice like pin pricks
Clouds of frigid doubt
In the end you succumb
Lie in foetal submission
Wraps its arms around you
Bliss that makes you shudder
Never does it hesitate
To lift you to heaven
And yet you expect
To be dropped down the same
I see you. Through and through
I want you, you, and you;
For as long as you’d have me
I, and mine, is true.
