Paean to Passion

O Passion, wild warm honey dripping
rosy, blues of bitten bloodied lips!

anxious breaths, madness, bliss, duets-duels
in crescendo! uproarious blaze!
O flaming furious wildfire death!!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          O flickering serpents glistening sweaty souls…
O the pure agony of glowing golden flesh!
beating wings and perfumed candles,
burning clandestine!
O glorious dazzling death!

Love, thou unending wilderness of delights!

In thine tempestuous waves, panting,
sets sail thousand fleets and
a fleeting kiss…!

O sweetness saline, warm eternity of death!!
