Walt Whitman Quotes, Gay Quotes, Men Quotes

I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.

I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content.
