Eros was there

...and they made love

with Eros between them

holding tighter and tighter

bonding in ev'ry twist

in ev'ry thrust and sway of flesh

there, urging in ev'ry Ah!

in ev'ry cry of joyous pain

in ev'ry soothing, passionate rub

in ev'ry heat-throb of nature's sweat

yes, Eros was there

through ev'ry volcanic rush of fire

through ev'ry taste of heaven on earth

through ev'ry rest in satisfaction's quest

in ev'ry kiss and stilled caress

until the awakened peace moved them to sleep

as Eros climaxed the night with passionate quiet

*Thoughts of Alan Jones:

-Somehow, all the repressed material must come to light.  Psychoanalysis is one of the ways in which that which is repressed comes to the surface and is integrated into a more honest and open life. I would claim that another way of integration is that of contemplative prayer.

-...the most dangerous form of neurosis is that of revenge, the desire for vindictive triumph over others.

-We sometime feed our feelings of resentment by concentrating on the wounds we received in childhood.

-One way to safeguard oneself from disappointment is to harp continually on the shortcomings of others.
