Rapture

the gentle rapture gathers 
all sense's warming 
my infamous intimate  pout
gestures I could do without 
capturing me inside your sullen 
notion of forever

forbidding emotion
causing casualties leaving 
innocent bystanders in haste
reaching for familiar lust settling
for what if's what was 
missing the valued piece's

of what would become of us 
after we've broken 
an ancient trust bind immortally
only to awaken and find 
our empty tombs untouched
