Sunset
Our relationship rose over the horizon
We were very happy and the sun burned
You touched me in places where I enjoyed
The newness and the caresses
It was fresh
And like a crystal clear message you sound
You are the one that I'm meant to melt
And my heart filled with tender thoughts
We rolled through flowered fields in hunger
And still
The first fight and burned our memories
But then hugs and kisses and a smile
Doubt crept between those clean sheets
We tried bleach but it only made white
And then
You swept the floor with me and then mopped
The love was squeezed and wrung
And like flowers in a vase wilted
My heart shattered and burned as the last ray
Sunset
