Serpentine
road
slithers
past
my
chair
asphalt
sidewinder
resembling
our
love
uphill
full figured
curvy
hills
valleys
prairie
mountains
disappearing
into
jungle
behind
rocky
outcropping
sometimes
boulder
ridden
icy
foreboding
others
mirage
tempting
dry
cracked
but
isn’t
that a
quest
adventure
discovery
the
road
we
are
We
were
once
now
we’re
forever
hours
separate
us
but
we’re
hand in
glove
body in
jacket
foot in
shoe
we’re
left to
right
salt to
pepper
oil to
vinegar
sometimes
separate
opposed
but often
found
together
we
are simply
love
abundant
The
door
to my
heart
that you
slammed
remains
ajar
bleeding
slick
I
still
fall
for
others
that
step
there
loves
nightlight
drips
like
black
coffee
into the
cup of
your
hand
you
drink
from
it
sipping
me
slowly
feeding
from
my
life
blood
now
I am
love
anemic
It is
not
what
we
do
It is
not
what
we
have
It is
not
where
we
go
It is
only
who
we
touch
After all
in the
end
all of
us
live
on
only
in the
memories
of
others’
immortality
Listening
wind in
willows
rain on
glass
gurgles in
creek
sand under
foot
birds in
flight
leaves on
ground
silence in
heavens
breathing in
sleep
laughter of
children
tears of
longing
sobs of
breaking
crackles of
warmth
sighs of
comfort
giggles of
passions
these
many
things
are
my
life
sounds
