it amazes me how
your medicinal smile
can lift my heart
or make it stop
the charm and humor
has won me over
even with the strings extracting
though it's just icing
on the cake
let's go down for just
a little while
and share this moment
for a moment
the pulse in your chest
beats this rhythm
impossible to duplicate
speeding
racing
quicker still
but the only running
that you are doing
is down my chin
as eyes lock
and lips meet
I hear the noise
I've longed to hear
gasp
with levitating hips
moan
with trembling limbs
after number five
and three of three
the prediction made
on that warm night
in that same bed
is all but fully
fulfilled
