Those first few days -
spent in exploration
& discovery - bodies

pressed close - we -
thunderstruck - spoke of love
& loss. I confessed

“I’d marry you in a heart’s
beat” & we glistened
nude in the candlelight.

In my passion I agreed
when he quoted - “’tis better
to have loved & lost…”

(I have since changed my mind.)

I laughed & replied, as
if tomorrow was solid, his arms
would never unwrap me

& loneliness was in the past.
“if nothing else, this should
make for some good poetry.”

And that it has.
