Give Me More, More, More… Poem by Louise Tredoux

I felt ill, feverish and headachy, stayed in bed
Rudi made his own breakfast; moving in and
out of consciousness, felt so alone, a soul in
perdition, sounds too loud, silence everywhere,
Rudi returned to take care of me, took medicine,
he stayed here with me, a soft kiss on the face,
a gently rubbing hand, warmth and comfort,
ease of mind and heart, he looked so sweet
and innocent, caring for me so charmingly

Softly kissed his fine-chiseled lips, he reacted
strongly, his need of me stronger than my own,
felt new energy in taking care of him, exploding
to his touch, sensation inflaming us so much,
burning ever higher, concentric circles turning
ever faster, the universe dancing in my mind,
passion is a charm, wondrous and fantastic,
increasing speed, wanting more, faster, more
amazing, I’m burning up, infinitely shrinking

Expanding to contain the universe, sensation
swallows everything, regurgitating more
than there were before, give me
more, more, more…
