Embracing the Beloved
Sensual preciousness flourishes within senescence.
This is not a chronological moment as it is a moment of flowering,
which encompasses blooming, the dispersal of seed and the faithful continuance
of Life itself.
The Beloved is embraced within this
senescent moment. Bodies which are ore beds embrace, extract from
each
other’s heart and soul, smile and grimace, fear and hope all that
is sterling.
Sensual preciousness worships the profane,
so mapping the play of the Beloved’s intimately precious presence.
All that the Beloved is, is profanity. The Beloved’s
life story, dreams, illnesses, successes and failures, down and through
the blemishes and glories of the instant quality of flesh, all
is accepted, read, drunk with the eyes external
and internal.
In this light, sensual preciousness is the grasp
of the full weight of the Beloved’s temporality.
It does not withdraw from blemish or
beauty. All that is blemish is celebrated as peerless.
All that is beauty is celebrated as largess. Consciously,
the Beloveds are canvass and palette each
for the other.
Sensual preciousness is shared when the Beloveds move
beyond sexual coupling as Warrior Quester's mutual
masturbation, as they find it wanting. It events at the moment
the Beloveds realize that all about them has driven
them to live in the Warrior Quester’s masturbatory erotic fantasy.
They recognize that fulfillment has been preached as “coming,”
and this “coming” is not a coming forth
but merely an ejaculation, a prayer to solely one’s
pleasured self.
Now, as beloved, as precious Other, personal identity
is not wrapped up with genitality. Personal
worth— preciousness—is not shaken
when genital vigor shifts.
