Love Transcending Death

Slow burn of a lengthy love
sometimes longing for
bonfires of euphoria
rising quickly to
spectacular flame
consuming ash upon ash

Tear drenched eyes
smile upon the search
for kindling
forest to flame
lighting up skies
primal
animalistic

So goes
early dawn
twilight
smoke ethereal
remembering
all that was
that is
that counts

Now of silver hair
reclining chair and sweatpants
gauzy spectacles from afar
rewind the mystery of then
piquing dopamine euphoria
physical affairs
cerebral affairs
spiritual affairs
soul to soul merging
titillating synapses
chemistry unspoken
augmenting self to self

How chaste the body
passionate the mind
together in spirit
separate in body
blind adoration
unconditional support
the essence reborn
