Her
As I looked at her and she looked at me
the distance between our eyes merged
and melted away
she is now a memory... from long ago
one that's burned into my soul
from a time when my heart was ripe
with a budding fervor of subliminal emotion
she took me without resistance
shared years seem to pass like days
with passion's hunger exchanged on the lips of love
lovers in a handmade cocoon
hanging on the limb of life in endless motion
blown about by the winds of expectations
when love was a wondrous wonder of dreamer's dreams
and our hearts melted into a ball of molten passion
when we danced in the twilight
on the color of the setting sun
then rose at dawn to empty our souls of desire
as we tightly held onto our illusion
even as it fell through our fingers
like petals from a rose crumbled and broken
landing on the earth of endless thoughts
of what was...what could have been
had our fiery passions not burned so hot
as to turn love into ashes that stain the cocoon of yesterday
in our captured memory
