God/Love Poem

BY LENORE KANDEL (New York City, NY, 1932 - San Francisco, CA, 2009)

There are no ways of love but / beautiful

I love you all of them

 

I love you / your cock in my hands

stirs like a bird 

in my fingers

as you swell and grow hard in my hand

forcing my fingers open

with your rigid strength

you are beautiful / you are beautiful

you are a hundred times beautiful

I stroke you with my loving hands

pink -nailed long fingers

I caress you

I adore you

my finger-tips…  my palms…

your cock rises and throbs in my hands

a revelation / as Aphrodite knew it

 

There was a time when gods were purer

/ I can recall nights among the honeysuckle

our juices sweeter than honey

/we were the temple and the gold entire /

 

I am naked against you

and I put my mouth on you      slowly

I have longing to kiss you

and my tongue makes worship on you

you are beautiful

your body moves to me

flesh to flesh

skin sliding over golden skin

as mine to yours

       my mouth      my tongue       my hands

my belly and my legs

against your mouth your love

sliding. . .sliding

our bodies move and join

unbearably

your face above me

       is the face of all the gods

       and beautiful demons

your eyes. . .

love touches love

the temple and the god

are one

hard-skin

hand

Belly 

Face 

naked

Tongue Legs.

night
