Love Sonnet XXVI poem – Zora Bernice May Cross poems
O my Beloved, when to-day you said: “All this must perish and we two will go Soulless and senseless, to the dust below!” I could but smile and fondle your dear head. I could but catch your fingers as they fled Over my throbbing breasts and whisper low, “Whence came this breast to lure your fingers’ flow? These burning pulses, leaping passion-fed?”
Dearest, you had no answer. But your blood Drawing from mine the primal fires of God, Leapt, laughed, and shouted, panting into mine— “Love…love is all; and sweeps in mighty flood Minds, souls and bodies, from the nameless sod Exultant to the feet of the Divine.”
