@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; A Sonority For Two Young Men Who Love Each Other

Two young men, of age to consent, are in love:

they feel that exquisite affection that soars above

each local, mundane, and ordinary condition

that surrounds them.  Their naked bodies' natural cohesion,

and their sensual desires' instinctive urges

topple each silly and societal inhibition;

and at the peak of pleasure they feel the surges,

the core contractions that release glistening sweetness.

And, as their love is consummated, Love (who is God) merges

their souls that are now wholly intimated

and have experienced, in this moment, the completeness

known to, and enjoyed by, the initiated---

brethren of a profound fraternity

first declared in the most ancient Poetry.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The ninth line alludes to 1 John 4:8.


The twelfth line alludes to Lord Byron's, and others, use of forms of the terms initiate (as both noun and verb) and initiation as a designation for those who follow this version of love.


The last line alludes to my personal belief that the Biblical Song Of Solomon was actually a love poem written by David for Jonathan, son of King Saul; that it was subsequently redacted, edited, and ascribed incorrectly to Solomon (who was not a Poet but a Philosopher) due to prejudiced inhibition and intervention.
