Oui Elle


 the cosmos slow maybe stop
unexpected passions flare-up

how soft to the touch this moment is

i swim in its nucleus but at a-crawl
absorb what feels like the universe 

it simmers within me to a boil   
immediately -uploading to my
flash drive my internal library

with hickory-shelves and -leather-bound books 
with strong spines would stand the test of time

many pages with more than a few 
bits and bites of past experiences

our union warm lit without a doubt a part of me
you steal my lips bound to my heart as they are

as we link our 
hearts-merge 

in sync we say
“so this is love”

and indeed it-is
spend the night 

safely intertwined in each other’s -hold
the first moment of our lifetime shared
