Let Me Love You Again

Let not tomorrow come if 
I alone must stand.
Vain is love if not 
Everlasting. 

Let me cuddle this desire,
Anchor me in your soft flesh
Until with liquid sighs I 
Gather myself.
Heave me up, if I’m indigestible.

Am I the only one who thirsts for this?
Never again my love; to love this way is evil.
Deep thoughts scale mountain crags to a place of once true love.

Listen, that’s the sound of love stealing laughter.
Oh, how deafening is this silent sound.
Vain is love if not
Eternal.
