What attraction you say
Lover’s gravity I reply.
You’re my moon
My light
You guide my way at night.
But you’re miles away
You say.
Not true my riposte;
Listen to our hearts,
The cadence is one.
Two distant earthly bodies
You reply
Ever confused.
Two bodies
One soul, I intone.
But I’m taken
You protest
Our staccato pasts intruding.
Our eyes search the other,
Is it an eternal flame?
I wait……
It’s your heart that pauses,
Not your voice.
I knew.
My delicious torment
Listen to your heart.
It’s not tangible
That is true.
Do not fear the ethereal.
Then suddenly
Our cacöethes consumes us
And your strawberry kiss–
Electric for me–
Stops
Those unnecessary words.
Our bodies
Formerly solitary,
Isolated
Bind together
In the heat of new love.
In our lust, our ardor,
Our delight
We become singular
We become infinite.
