My Eternal Love Poem by Louise Tredoux

When he enfolds me with his body, being so much bigger
than me, big and strong, when he cloaks me with his being,
wrapping me in his love, I go into ecstasies of delight, when
he makes music with my body and plays a symphony of love

When he completely buries me in soft waves of undulating
delight growing into a crescendo of unleashed furies of passion,
when he seeks his joy in me and finds it in what I am, in my being,
when he immerses himself in the joys my body holds for him

I am complete, I experience epiphany, I become a new person,
larger than I was, softer, warmer, more joyous, enriched
immeasurably by the experience of sweetest love

When he treats me reverently afterwards, when the afterglow of our
love stays in his eyes; when he refrains from rebuking or belittling me,
when he treats me like a queen; I grow in stature, my love is infused
with new energy and ignited with joy

And you commiserate because Rudi is away frequently – how little
you know, how little you understand of the eternal love that glows
and grows in me, Rudi being who he is, my eternal love…
