vibrant words fall empty

they never conjure near enough

kinetic romance living deep in hearts

quiet pleasures in the darkness

the liquor of your sweet lips

the brilliance of your perfect smile

the delicate power of passionate hands

your aura brimming deep –

in memory and dreams and all my breath

haunting my spirit with piercing serenity

from across the void I hear you say

“I fear you will always have me”

I’ve never found greater comfort in a fear before.
