I want to make love
to you
in Urquhart Castle
overlooking dark Loch Ness
towers tumbling onto green pastures
cool wind rustling aspen leaves
the scrapes of our footsteps stirring ghosts.
I want to hold you
against the ancient stone
so you feel the chill of ages
seep into your flesh
while our bodies rub hot
and wet against one another.
I want to travel the
world
with you
stopping to fuck amid ancient ruins
hollow castles
where history was made and lost:
Krak des Chevaliers in Syria -
tan stone Crusader stronghold;
vast Egyptian Mycenae
with its beheaded Lion Gate
and hilltop view of that rugged land;
Chateau Gaillard, commanding the Seine
atop 300-foot cliffs
brutal edges worn smooth
not by defeat but time and peace...
I want to make love
to you
in all the British Isles
across Europe and Asia
on storming oceans and nighttime seas
up and down the Amazon and Nile
jungles and deserts:
all the places where the world changed;
I want to travel the globe with you
absorb history with you
make our own history.
I want it all
I want it with you. |
