Our love is effervescent

ultraviolet against the raging moon

with delicate streamers of light

it’s subtle rays illuminate the darkness

She says to me,

"I am defenseless against my need to resist,"

"my need to abandon my inflicted soul.."

My arms hold her tight.

Our eyes weary from the storm

the everlasting search

for that one to lead us to the light

where there is none.

And she says,

"For that one that leaves no doubt in my mind"

that love begins and ends in their eyes."

My hands caress her gently.

Our two forgotten souls are one

sands no longer shifting their rhythm of time

stealing seconds from our days

as the clouds run away with the rain

A balance struck within us

the beating of our two lonely hearts

yet the cold darkness flowing between

eager to consume the love where there was none

Where once an aching need to be fulfilled

we hunger no more.

We survive the tragedy one day at a time

struggling coldly within.

Flesh and blood can end no more

the absence of our love

the only devastation we could ever know

living in stolen moments

We can never really be complete.......
