All of your life that has gone before, All to come after it, -- so you ignore, So you make perfect the present, -- condense, In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowement, Thought and feeling and soul and sense -- Merged in a moment which give me at last You around me for once, you beneath me, above me -- Me -- sure that despite of time future, time past, -- This tick of your life-time's one moment you love me! How long such suspension may linger? Ah, Sweet -- The moment eternal -- just that and no more -- When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut and lips meet! ~ Robert Browning |
