This poem is from a beautiful little book about loving sexuality by Bill Noble... I loved it!!!
Tonight I would be the provider of solace, the caregiver
in the face of all that had afflicted you this day.
But when you took me fully in your mouth, small,
yielding, your encompassing warmth and sweetness
without urgency or agenda, every door opened,
every hurt and hesitation was healed. I gave myself
up to you, and you gave me myself, whole and at peace.
Would you like to be inside? you asked, looking up
from your giving. And in a moment you were above me,
radiant, wordless, emptied of urgency and injury,
and this thoughtless joy rose in my bones, this joy
conceived in love, refracted in your eyes, easy as breath.
Each enfolding night may we come to each other
healed, jubilant and patient, each day of all the days
we may be graced with. May no hurt ever be stronger
than the simplest act of love. May touch redeem us...
Loads of Luv... R
