Together Without Fear

Bites that mark blood heated flesh
Warm kisses trace without regret
The body that lies, the mind that knows

Needing to scream out this passion
Words that hurt but must be heard
This is what is done by both light and dark

Souls that yearn to melt and form
A special place away from the world
Hot, cold, sweet and bitter, a home

Distance holds the key to a desire
Opening that door that is touched
Never quite daring to step inside

Staring out into the night
Sighs of wonder, of maybes
Uncertain nods and what ifs

Remaining “them” even when apart
Thoughts run wild yet halt
Ponds of clear water ripple

Rivers of sought tears
Bubbles of earned laughter
Hold their souls together without fear
