Our Union

Our Union My eyelashes bat After meeting your gaze From across a Crowded subway haze. My pupils dilate when they Look back at you over dinner Where we drank wine and ate. My feet dance with glee as we Fall hopelessly in love In the midst of summer heat. My heart splits apart To become your wife And your forever sweetheart. My legs spread Open to bare new life And see your cheeks rosen. My arms push You away at night, I'm too tired for a sex life. My fists rage and tears pour, When I discover your arms Embracing another lover After coffee one early morn. My ears listen to Your words of regret and Pleads for a second chance For things to be like When we first met. My fingers dial Seeking third party counsel To repair our shattered union. My brain waves Shift to understand your Thoughts and your feelings, While I bitterly convey my own. My hand re-opens To forgive your sins And make amends. My lips part to Receive your kiss in the Night in a sea of Skin in our warm bed. My heart flutters, We’ve truly become one, Years after we bore our son.
