Remembering




Stars filled your eyes, my sweet  
And I tasted eternity upon your lips,
Looking into your star field I caught a glimpse
Of our forever’s and smiled knowing
They did exist beyond my imaginings…
 
You taste of mother earth rich and deeply textured
As velvet in my mouth, the flavor of eternity,
Moon glowed off of your radiant skin
Casting liquid shadows upon our bed sheets
Limpid pools of desire embracing still…
 
Looking upon your silent sleeping face,
My breast swollen with such emotion
Tears coursed down my face and
As I silently sobbed my salty love spilled
Upon your cheek and I quietly kissed it away…
