We traded kisses in the night
intoxicated in the groaning bliss of our hungry souls
amidst our pain
everything forgotten
our lips silent
not a single word uttered


One movement
It's all shattered
my chamber unlocked
but I can still close my eyes
and out of the depths of my imagination see


you; a naked body
vulnerable
illuminating
in the heat of the room
a shower of expectation


black rope
a knot held
the hours
our limbs; intertwined
as are our strengths and desires


A scream
then Quiet comes,
spreads itself
into the depth
remembrance arrives
and it's all gone.
