April 18

This is nice I said You smiled and I knew you agreed We made love like drowning in the ocean Surfing the waves of our desire When the currents dragged me under You were my rescuer I felt so beautiful with you and still do How long those hours lasted Perhaps God had mercy on me after all I know you were a blessing I was almost lost at sea Loves beacon reached out to me Wherever I am now You are always with me In that fortress we built When we lay in each other’s arms And said those words we meant Things unspoken before Now strewn across the floor With every shed item of clothing I laughed and wept and recalled The past and everything I had felt Everything that I needed to Everything that you have now replaced.
