A Beautiful Agony

short, wispful threads stand saluting,
soft, searching, questioning eyes
a smooth, broad brow
determined in its disposition.

smooth, rippled, firm and strong.
back and chest, arms and legs
sharp lines, each tantalizing.
surges of passion, overwhelming.

baby talk and play,
erotically amusing and captivating.
lost in a revelry of dreams
and lust, paralyzing and aching.

light, pursed, touch; gentle. a
free flowing entanglement of
past, future, present; baggage and
all or nothing, fused together.

yielding is the only answer,
forfeited by staggering beauty,
a beauty so strong words fail,
heart screams anguish.

sit. be still and absorb.
for such beautiful agony.
