Orbiting thoughtless, I caught my clasp on a comet's 
bridal train, to be drawn inside it, and lifted,
as gifts one to the other, lovers at birth,
worth more than any infinite figure.
Big-bosomed to my dripping lips, you slipped me
a safe embrace, bountiful in beautiful grace
and favour. I savoured all with small greedy
gulps, feeling sure how battles are won.
The sun kissed blissfully the window netting,
letting a little of the morning light seep
sweet
ly in a white mist to the plush carpet,
lushly wrapping our happy feet on the floor.
     The toils of life I now could undertake,
     no matter how this planet Earth might quake.
