Unlit
Unlit the room as my eye is unclosed
Unseen your body tenderly stirs
Whispering warm lengths of delicious wind
Anticipating and consuming one and then next
Graciously devouring each gust
Inhaling with it your aspiration
Our minds imminent and coupled
My reflections and dreams visit with yours and yours with mine
Rigid hearts dissolve with each breath
Each breath blending and sharing our souls
Our souls sweetening with every gust
Unlit the room
Unclosed still, my eye
