Quivering Wings

What made the oceans spin me to heaven
What made the universe swivel around
Why is my mind in mists of enchantment
Why can’t I touch the solid of ground

Quivering wings of little white pigeon
Eyes lightly closed like an infant at dawn
Motionless body of child in dreamland
Throbbing of breast like a trembling fawn

Lips pressed together in moments of splendor
Spinning the earth as new pleasures unfold
Eyes gaze at depths in the eyes of another
Feeling the pulses of life taking hold

Bodies attracted by power of undertows
Kisses inducing the wild of desire
Impulse of nature, the moontides of rhythm
Burn in the flames of a passionate fire

Why is the universe swirling around
The infinite beauty of love has been found

Beautifully illustrates not only your talent for penning a piece that reads with a excellent cadence but also shows your heart and your wonderful nature.  Loved it much.
