Fingertips trace lines
Nerve endings echo with the memory
No burning
No bonfire
Lines drawn in skin
In promise
Our hearts
Nuclear fire
The cool etching
A dalliance of forever
No mere moment enough
No mere forever too much
Bound in deeds
No debt but to ourselves
Come take my hand
Let mortal concern
Be but wind
And let lips meet
In becoming
Two into one
heartache
Watching boats on the shoreline
This patient ending
pull hooks knitting designs
made from bone
thirst building
heart punctured
bleeding out
connections fade
replaced by cold ache
simple desire for lips eager for my touch
capillary pulse
chorus make me whole
slow march
made penitent
shifting demands
a lost seashell
picked and discarded
Heartache haiku
Wish it as simple
As, we met and fell in love
But complicated
