A Naiad or Hylas with a Nymph, by John William Waterhouse
Robert L. Martin

The Rites Of Passion

The aroma of pleasure and the paradise
The flame unheeded and melting of the ice
 
An impromptu dance of the spirit renewed
A reaching down into the loin all through
 
A wild ride without a plotted course
A submission to a mystifying force
 
A winding through the valley of pleasure
An unconscious trip to a land so treasured
 
A blending of the instinct and passion combined
The arrival of the flesh with the wits left behind
 
The beholding of beauty under her magic spell
The look of a man encased in a hollow shell
 
The me that once knew where he called home
Before passion took him to a place unknown
 
An ode to the eternal rites of passion
The ceremony of the bewildered kind
