Aftertaste As dawn approaches My mind shakes me awake Recalling the lust mingled with Thoughts of joy, love and surrender Fragments swimming in my mind washed to shore after the lust was spent Fragments of me Fragments of you Gathered as perfect offerings From deep within our souls In an imperfect situation In my mind's eye I spread them out In the light of day To be examined in a different light After the lust has gone At least for the moment Wondering what is real What will last Small parts of you And small parts of me Pulled from the dark, sacred space Deep inside our souls I am forever changed I sense you are too And my mind whispers Words I need to ask Are we building a monument To be cherished and worshiped Or a sandcastle on the beach at low tide That will be gone without a trace Jmt (c) 2005 |
