the day
with its hum drum dullness
made generous room
for our hurried pleasures
a savorable collection of stolen
moments
our nest of ravenous exultation
embraced each breath of
giddy oneness
a hasty self made mirage for lovers
yes
desire
an energetic tether
fantastic overture
reblended
that deep feeling so unashamedly
met
then
such incredible sizzling silence
our essences
so easily exchanged
in the motion
you melted into my bones
my dear sir
and I absorbed you
in a feather light return
boring all the grace
my flawed yet thankful body
could muster
believing in that single
animation of spirit
this is where husband and wife
palely fall away
and the eternal lovers that we are
and have likely always been
begin to reassert themselves
and the invisible bond
strengthens even more beautifully
than that of
the moon and the sea............
