"Susan and I could no longer resist each other as our poems, minds and bodies

merged in the each of a new us. "

There were longing glances and fond embraces with wet kisses on warm skin.

It was early,

then it was late

and there was a reason for tomorrow.

The night passed

in flashes of seconds, that took hours crashing into infinity.

Beginnings and beginnings were born and captured,

as minds moved in unison to the tune of together.

There were diversions and chocolates,

with smoky sips

from a common glass.

Passion showed

on the faces of us, disappearing in fog on my long ride home.

I didn't know

about affairs of the soul. They remake you

and there is no return.

Now in the cold

of the absence of Susan

I sit writing in doubt of survival.
