those fingers serenade my being
every touch leaves a memory
with eyes that pierce my soul
he enters my mind with a silence, only i can hear
his skin reminds me of earth
dark, natural, sustaining
as he moved towards me
the earth bowed
as he came closer
closer i went to him
until an embrace found us
and our lips hugged
the world became a myth
life, mine alone
as we continued, lost
we found what we lacked.
