The Essence of Intimacy

I look in Your eyes

And see a Midnight surprise

As will be the case

Until one of us dies

Whispers of darkness increase as the light

Crescendos in brightness on this crisp autumn night

What has yet to be spoken will soon be revealed

As will be the secrets We've tried hard to conceal

As dark fast approaches,We awaken anew

The world as our church and each other our pew

Flowers evolve from where there were none

Of which we pick all as opposed to just one

In a world where reality is merely facade

And that which appears perfect turns out to be flawed

Sunbeams reflect on a forest of trees

Summoning beauty to an endless degree

As fractions of light make their way through our midst

We try to resist them,but,instead,they insist

The epitome of unbridled desire

Burns through us both,as if it were fire

As kindling comingles with embers aglow

The fabric of romance that Intimates sew

Brings an end to this tale of unabridged love

It's essence now captured as if done from above
