Move away from the window...& into the light.
There are some things in this life, that U just can't fight.
It's if the spirits above, have cast a little spell upon us.
It's as if Heaven above.Is beckoning us.
So let us take off our crosses & lay them in tin,
& let our weakness become virtue...instead of sin.
Our bodies stand naked as day they were born,
And tremble like animals...Before a coming storm.
Take me beyond love.
Up to something above.
Upon this bed,between these sheets.
Take me to the happiness beyond human reach.
The force of life is rushing trough our veins.
in & out like the tide. It comes in waves.
The drops of semen & the clots of blood.
Which may , one day, become like us.
With outstretched hands reaching beyond love.
And up to something above.
Before our juices run cold & our flesh grows old.
Let me feed upon your breast & draw closer to your soul.
Let me stay with U tonight, & I'll offer U my world.
I'll take U to the angels...
...if U'll take me to myself.
Take me beyond love.
Up to something above.
Upon this bed, between these sheets.
Take me to a happiness beyond human reach.
Beyond the grasp of lust.
Beyond the need of trust.
Beyond the gaze of the sick & the lame.
Beyond the stench of human pain.

The photograph is extremely evocative and the poem does it justice.
I feel this photograph, may not forget it for a long time. -

Kudos to your taste, I may have burned the foreground on the right and lost the balance, you kept it and made the composition just right. Very evocative photo as I said before, the poem reminds me of Leonard Cohen. Good work both of you!
