Hold Me

Telré on behalf of Taelee for A. 9/14/01

To just taste that which is you,
Lips lock in tender surrender,
Shieldless, I let myself go into you
You go welcome into me.

Unwarranted desire,
From loin and heart and head,
Painful longing to part,
Blissful pain to rejoin.

Wrestle with my tears,
You hold me through
The fear that gripped me suddenly,
That in a moment, all might no longer *be*.

Awash in the wake of tragedy,
The splendor of still existing,
Spoiled in immersion,
Blanketed by your admission.
