Guadalquivir

Topics: classic

In a pleasureless world, pure pleasure exists.     Particles of sunlight, exquisite with nightdrops &     leaves stringent with dew,     persuade tributaries with inset eyes     to depart down foible breast, sticky fingers     up delightful steps.     And taking pleasure with an earthen spoon    -     sipped long and hard down tubes and winding     entrails;     soft relief canyons swollen blood vessels.     For your brow shines like olive branches,     Guadalquivir's river or nectar drawn from golden     wells     and, as such, unfolds loveliest eyes     out from fond embrace not hedging lies.     My darling, amongst flowering cherub trees     a moment shared with you is pretty mirth     accounts all Arcadia's treasures, the     angelic breath off passing wings.
