Love of My Life

We discovered together
That the world is round
while playing in the white sands
Of our convalescence.

Thursday nights are good for one thing:
To sip on the ether
Of our longing
Together, we speak.

Tied in bunches
We walk to the moon,
Our souls handed out on corners
In small villages.

Inherited and polished,
Her face turns toward mine.
With every touch we speak
Of the things we cannot say.

Bled on the banks
Of the river beside us
We give praise
To the fire that brought us here.

And who'd have thought
It was us that they meant.
We just came here
To laugh at the ocean.

It came to us at last.
Driving down the highway
We saw it in the sunset.
Our desire awakens.
