Old love

The first night, enamoured in ecstasy.

And every night after.

My darling, hold me tight, give me everything.

I was high and alive with every spark.

I chased this love, his drug.

I crave his weight. The power of him.

Electric even now.

His strength in me, side to side my lover.

Embraced as one we pray.

My heart beating out of his chest.

“My darling,”

“My lioness.”

I’m wrapped in his touch.

I laughed and loved and lost my breath.

This god consumed me.

Now, I think of his strength, and meet him secretly, in another life.

His kiss owns me still.

I still swim in his ocean eyes.

I still want all of him tonight.

“Come, hold my hand my darling”

His kiss still on my neck, an invisible linger.

All his uncontrollable love still defines me.
