The Body Fails

Unblemished in your
Perfect hunger
You leap to bed,
Intent upon
My carnal soul,
Turn towards the wall...
And fall...
Asleep.

The spirit
    was eager
But the flesh
    passed out.

Author notes

Anyone with a lover, both of you working or going to school or both, or those like me getting on in years, has moments like this.  Strangely, it is this kind of moment more than moments of superhuman marathon intercourse that recall to my mind the true depths of my tenderest loves.
