your erotic poem of the day.. For National Poetry Month

THE ENJOYMENT

An anonymous poem

E Gods! the raptures of that night!
What fierce convulsions of delight!
How in each other's arms involv'd
We lay confounded, and dissolved!
Bodies mingling, sexes blending,
Which should most be lost contending,
Darting fierce and flaming kisses,
Plunging into boundless blisses;
Our bodies, and our souls on fire.
Tost by a tempest of Desire;
Till with utmost fury driven,
Down, at once, we sunk to heaven.

"The Enjoyment" is reprinted from Poetica Erotica. Ed. T.R. Smith. New York: Crown Publishers, 1921.
