Counterparts Poem by Gert Strydom

In your body I float
as if destiny awaits me
to make another living being
and I rise and fall on your sea,
hearing the waves breaking
with sheer intensity
while your voice rise in passion
and drops squirt swimming
with their own life
while you quiver under me
and your nails dig into my back
and tears of pleasure
stream down your cheeks

and I can hear your heart beat in your breast
while you lay with your head on my chest
and you are mine and I am yours
and your fingers clasp mine
as if nothing will ever
separate us again.
