In the Wintergarten, Lust It's Loot

“Come here,” she said She held the mirror up to him He looked beyond his eyes The sum of all within Years that had passed by “Come here,” he said He held the mirror up to her She looked beyond her smile Windows broken shards of glass Green bottles on the walls Numbers blurred Two lovers now hold hands together they will fall Love in the Wintergarten In Autumn secret notes are written red leaves fading under foot The Kissing Loop now planted it takes root The wind it whispers wet lips lush seek sacrilege together tongues are swords of flame that cut the burning frost Two lost heroes Confederate ghosts that moan but never rush Inside, the keys are a hidden truce What is never spoken is the Truth Love is the currency Lust, Love's bound and captured loot (LadyLabyrinth/November 2018) 1. Lamb - "In Binary" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp7m5-e42RE "She loves me for the way I never leave her ... and I love her for the thousand secret ways she makes me stay".

`Lust is what keeps you wanting to do it even when you have no desire to be with each other. Love is what makes you want to be with each other even when you have no desire to do it.`

`Love is a strange emotion. It is ever evolving. Lust is transient. With time, one realizes that love and togetherness are two different things. Very few people are lucky enough to experience the two emotions simultaneously.`
