Yes I Have Danced Naked Under Stars Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Yes...I have danced
naked under stars

clothed only
in laughter & kisses.

Yes...I have made love
in a sea

held you near me
as waves crashed

all about us
our laughter

our kisses
like little fishes.

Yes...I have known kisses
kiss after kiss

bright & brilliant as stars

that dancing nakedly
above us

laugh at us
& our little humanness

astounded
at how such

great love could be ours!

Yes...I have touched
your naked flesh

with only love
& the lust

of utter devotion

and no...not

even Death

with his ramshackle’d
boniness

& clichéd scythe

could tear
these pictures

from off
my eyes.
