stripped away and sanded down
old love settles /
creaking knees still
bare love’s weight
sweet neck nuzzles
faint patchouli /
hot dog breath
crowds exposed legs /
tipping slightly
placing a soft kiss
onto a smooth cheek /
sunbeams through lace treatments
spotlights our tattooed rings
our eyes meet /
gently upturning
our smiles align
with the sun and moon /
timeless and constant
our love reincarnates
next time we meet
each time
until we travel the cosmos
as wind /
