BREATHS OF LOVE

how soon we forget
the opening breaths
of love
the giggles
the schisms
the rhythms
of love.
how long
the hope of love
the anticipation
the hesitation
the realization
my love.
how will it come
the death
of love
the shouts
the recriminations
the end
of love
...how soon will we forget

ENTWINED

hearts entwined
lips pressed hard
upon mine
no tears
to shed
come
lay with me
upon
my bed.
the scent of you
enveloped
in my head
blackest night
i am yours
to be led.
ecstasy
as i shout out
your name
precious one
never to be
the same.
so
lay with me
upon
my bed
for
i am yours
to be led.
