I remember
sapphire kisses
how could I
that blazing fire
ever forget
you are such
warm embrace
tender passion
embracing night
where splendid
cemented us
intimately together
we had that
gentle sense
sensibly nude
orgasmically intense
our love mood
remember lips
kiss me you
touch each other
a gleaming jewel
your glowing skin
from outside
faithfully
I reached in
tracing streams
each liquid rule
measuring inside
soul
completely soaked
love invoked
so very treasured
artfully wet
like summer dew
painting little drips
brushing parts
stroking blushing cheeks
your smiling face
that beguiling rush
your flushed stare
our devoted sighs
somehow I knew
we have died for love
we both saw through it
that infectious guise
recognition
of our urgent love
avoiding reckless torment
we lay there
breathing
hearts beating
abreast of comment
no choked on lies
instead heady notions
adept life
right to left
a swaying motion
deep diving
in love's deep ocean
deftly sounding
something profoundly earnest
furnishing passion
committed to keep
kissing salvation
emotions so raw
still I thought
supposedly still
rational
that hopeless love
I hoped to keep
but then somehow
I might have been
frightfully mistaken
unrighteously how cruel
be truly asleep
what is this love
we had faithfully found
isn't it foolish
soul and mate
reminding us
love's sweet gift
just you and I
we aren't  pretending
all that pretentious
outside world
love is
always comprehending
that implied word
pygmalion
an alien guise
had disappeared
I'm sorry
for leaving
another passionate story
some mystery
I didn't realize
about love's whole truth
still two tender hearts
foolishly compromised
two passionate souls
promising something
improvised
we both did want
what we truly needed
should and more
mend our wounded hearts
both of us
having bled so much
leaving scores
of feral scars
I truly hope
some great love
will wisely keep
brilliant wisdom
undaunted compassion
soulfully haunt
arrested love
love's great ransom
divinely brave
midst love's brazen dreams
sweet love
profoundly deep
yet dark night came
shamefully broken
we sadly parted
I hope you know
comforted by
what remains of love
some in depth truth
perfect in that light
love poems and verse
inflection and true words
were rightly spoken
but reflection dear
fear mirroring
fatalistic love
how can we
garner hope
still you might
keep invited love
somewhere safe
away from promises
we couldn't keep
tucked sadly away
like tragic wounds
encompassing
our bleeding hearts
I hope you may
some reflective day
forgive me
allow some precious
velvet dreams
to caress your being
it still seems
somewhere love
we must know
truthfully seeing
desirous love
entranced by being
consecrated with ironic fire
adorned with halos
storms of enchanted kissing
two bodies writhing
reborn in romance
love's sweet perfume
enhancing loving hearts
such tingling love
alive and new
together we're feeling
carnal chills
blood and bone
though still
we exist
so far apart
I'm so distant
we're all alone
I'm lying naked
thinking about love
divinity knows
from that very start
we were just
being just us
two love birds
meant to be
we fluttered
two as one
we danced
proving perfect time
caressed by passion
celebrating ardent space
we built with love
I gently stroked
your glowing face
love's brave overtones
advocating sighs
relative with perfect moans
but now
allocating negative
we are two
here is me
far away
there is you
time's punishment
comparative lonely days
fusion and fission
admission into narratives
some admonishing art
that dark envisioned part
a roiling crucible
crudely smelting
our shared pain
love conjured
leaving us
morally shaken
by crashing thunder
we were swept away
sorely torn asunder
in that torrential rain
so now we're lost
ship wrecked
surviving all alone
we've been accosted
by a coral sea storm
forget prayerful pleas
falling on deaf ears
we're an ocean apart
silent pleading prayers
grievously unheard
there is no merciful part
still I struggle
dashed by parched love
feeling washed away
those torrid dreams
seemingly true
love honestly
is forever gone
that true love
we once both
passionately knew
openly now
we're broken
foolishly somehow
we have been
burdened
with love's mortal pain
fatally stricken
bound by sorrow
it hurts to remember
every sad refrain
examine shackled hearts
each imprisoned day
every silent night
ruefully beyond
every lonely tomorrow
perhaps foolishly
that is sure
we always mourn
what we lost
what we've got
purity of love
has surely gone
we won't kiss again
I won't ever look
into your opal eyes
let me blissfully maintain
that I love you
I need hope
love's sapphire kisses
embracing you
still deep desire
glowing sparks
remnants of love
that eternal fire
having burned up
incinerated lost love
all its compassion
embers remain
coaxing tender overtones
even love's hot refrains
its passionate lies
remembering
all that honey sweet
commending love's cherished
unforgotten sighs
