Unlit

Dean Cunningham

Unlit the room as my eye is unclosed

Unseen your body tenderly stirs

Whispering warm lengths of delicious wind

Anticipating and consuming one and then next

Graciously devouring each gust

Inhaling with it your aspiration

Our minds imminent and coupled

My reflections and dreams visit with yours and yours with mine

Rigid hearts dissolve with each breath

Each breath blending and sharing our souls

Our souls sweetening with every gust

Unlit the room

Unclosed still, my eye
