Memory of Pleasure

 

 

For too long we have existed apart,

Walls and roadblocks living up to their names,

Yet a spark of you still gives me a start,

Transforms these old embers back into flames. 

How much time has passed since I saw your face

Or felt the warmth of our skin intertwine?

There are certain truths one cannot replace 

And for sure, lover, you are one of mine.

I smile, soak in my lack of regret,

Yield to sensation I cannot measure,

Surrender to what I will not forget,

Swaddled in my memory of pleasure.

Why would I have it any other way?

You shall be with me till my dying day.
