But we had yet to see the sun
I laid so tightly to your chest
I could count your pores one for one
The sheets became an earthen place
Planted into you
Into me
A relentless, forgiving sea
The walls were like strong hands
And there is safety here
You are hope
Visions, clear
The floors became clouds
I lingered afloat
In the winds that were your arms
All tumult
Calmed
And our hours passed
Never feeling a single tick
A song of entrance lingers on my ear
A simple heaven in each kiss
Sharing the same breath
No air between us
The world silenced
No tumult.
No fear.
Only trust.
And the night skies now dark
When we had seldom known the day
Spending each breath in your arms
Melding in your sway
The night meets us once more
Feverish and lustful in its implore
To hold our hearts here
This simple day in a long winter year.
