Deep, deep, deep in illustrious ember
The aura of your love lingers
On my skin soft with sweat
Passion in its purest form evident.
The more our souls continue to meet
In random hours of days fleet.
I'll hold on tightly to your truth
For time reveals the beauty of you.
Deep, deep , deep my heart aches seeking
The tempo of desire sweetens in the making.
In my song my body lights a flame
The heat of your nature boundlessly claims.
Confirmed fantasies long dismissed
Redeems a chance of what we never knew we missed.
Deep, deep, deep our imperfections compose
The greatest symphony of two star crossed wrongs
Together makes the grief dissipate
Bring a joy as new as morning haze.
We the beautiful young ones
Will recall innate beliefs
Honor the time our halfs complete.
Deep, deep, deep your warmth bewilders
The coldest spaces where my heartache blisters
Let the brightest spot of our magic gleam
Until the sun darkens into eternity.
Jay Maisel (Harlem 1950s)
