Nights In White Satin

We fold our clothes piece by piece, 
pile them neatly on a chair, 
as if with this act, 
we discard every part of us that 
existed beyond this room. 

Your hands become master of mine.
your touch, caressing with a sense  of urgency, 
confirming that in each separation 
we lose an eternity. 

And now you're gone. 
Only satin sheets on our bed, 
their cool soft gloss 
luminous in the dark, 
remain.
