As he was the day he was born, he waited
To see her as she was the day she was born
The moon agape, hovering in the sky
Reflecting on the nameless ocean
Lapping the rocks upon which he sat
With gentle force
The flicker of torchfires reflecting on his face
The eternal roar of the great waters falling softly upon his ears
As he watched her figure swaddled in red veils
Writhing with languorous precision
On her feet
Her back
Her belly
The red slowly giving way to red
And alabaster
Flesh to his flesh
Flesh to her flesh
Bound together in undulating serenity
In the surging swell
The great ocean's waves
That could not quench their veins
Filled with fire
Blessedly echoing
Heart throbbing into heart
Spine pulsing into spine
Limb twining around limb
Eyes shutting to see
She became he
He became she
She no longer he
He no longer she
In the vast wave
Of the world's breath
They surfed the cosmos
New mysteries unveiled before them
Now constellations among the multitude
Of fiery stars
The universe surging through them
In an everflowing stream
Of cosmic ecstasy
