Knowing Oneness

The passion of us
contrasting the nakedness
of you or me if left alone,
absent of I, we become one
clothed glamorously
in sensual surrender

Giving...
we invest fully in us
receiving each other's all
within unguarded fields,
a sacred orchard
where grows the fruit of oneness

Time juices life
into a complex wine,
hinting sweet laughter
peppered with overtones of desire
bathed in the fermentation of reality,
as sadness desolves
beneath seduction's horizon
satisfied with love's giddy inebriation

Oh, and you are taken
as am I
beyond...
yet grounded,
a planted union
saturated in the wetted
appetite of our knowing

and how long can this feeling last? giddiness of the new... great way to describe what we all are looking for.. then saddened as this is what we only remember..

Is oneness only found in the lustful passion of new love? The intoxication of a relationship can be revisited any time we choose to truly connect in our sexual energy... IMO. I have known eighty year old couple who still passionate in their sexual capacity.
Obviously, a mental, philosophical and spiritual connection must precede true "oneness".
Anyhow... Sorry for blabbing on... I just think we tend to give up and sell out on the energy we could enjoy in long term relationships... Why be sad? Experience it today. Maybe I'm delusional. Ha. :)
Thank you for reading.

I agree that people can actually enjoy the love and all that passion for as long as they wish to.. but what seems to be most important in all the push and pull of relationships is finding the upper hand in some manner which quickly diminishes and snuffs out that passion. power struggles if you will, when if only we allow each other to just be who we fell for to begin with- then perhaps the passion will stay.
