Sonnet Iii - 'Languishing Lazy On A Wooded Perch' Poem by Beach Leanbh

Languishing lazy on a wooded perch
Legs dangling in union from the loft’s edge
Compassing the stars as our lover’s church
While clement night air exhales through the hedge
Our hidden harbor under heaven’s womb
Gently I kiss her lips and kiss her neck
The sweetbitter taste of sweat and perfume
My paradise found on a hardwood deck
Placing ear to chest so I hear her heart
Counting the beats of destiny’s hourglass
Each a grain fewer until we must part
An imminent portal through which we pass
Do not fear this door into the unknown
For with bound hearts, neither must go alone
