A single moment;

Captured and framed in time:

Your naked body

Propped against the pillow;

Head tilted with curiosity

To one side

Watching me

Gaze at you

from the doorway

As you captured my nakedness

With a fierce tenderness

That could calculate infinity

I thought then

and I still think now

That

Your lips’ red

was as delicate

and sweet

as roses

turned towards the sun

Oh how I came undone

when they planted soft,

wet kisses on my cheek

to the rhythm of each heartbeat
