Our Beginning

Over your shoulder 
you peer 

at me 

and 

smile 

turning 

my heart 

into 

a 

beating 

drum 

I 

want to 

open 

to 

you 

this room                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

filled with  

others 

at 

various levels 

of  

every day  

seriousness                                                                        




transforms  

into a




bedroom 

in its 

center 

bed 

sheets 

pushed to the 

side 

invite

us into 

the 

opening 

my thoughts 

are  

there 

within 

it 

as 

your 

blue 

eyes 

scan 

my  

shape 

I wish 

the 

light 

to be 

dim 

I feel 

the  

world 

with us 

and  

want  

it 

to  

fade 

away 

and 

this 

room 

to  

be 

ours alone 

filled 

with the 

quiet 

urgency 

of 

relieving 

the 

heated 

weighted  

pull 

that 

burdens 

us
