Life In Love

Life in Love
David J Walker

The mystery of love I have known 
And cannot explain more than 
any man can 
never fully recovering from hands 
imprinted on my body
words left without explanation 
thought with no reason
soft kisses beguiling common senses 
I am your partner 
              who must learn obedience
              to the tenants of commitments
              to your expectations 
Surely one lifetime will be enough
