Incomplete

Lever and fulcrum, wheel and axle 
Incomplete kernels of carnal quests
Casual asymmetries of cupid's lust
unwieldy jigsaws, our meeting of minds

We came to quench one urge at a time
In these sacred rituals of hoary rhyme
Desire's kernels sprout again afresh 
In imperfect knowledge of the Union of flesh 

But I lay drenched in a meteor shower of charms 
In our curled up arc, your complete arms 
Nooks and havens of a tender morning 
Speed gears of passion, worm gears of longing

We yearned to surge, we burned to merge 
but two makes not one despite upsurge 
Our cells know how to split up and die
Two lives from a death, you and I
