In Winter

She falls into love, 

Easily 

But with him,

It unfolds differently 

She knows 

She sees 

She waits 

Extending her arms

To his brokenness and blanks 

His pain glistens 

Her ears listen 

Over him

In search of his lilt 

He's the rhythm of the ocean 

She's the glow of the sun 

They meet

At the edges of the shore 

Where their coolness is one 

Folded hands 

Slight smiles 

Soft brushes 

Touches 

Refuge

When the moon glows

And maybe one star knows 

His thoughts 

Her naught 

Wine to lips 

Hands to hips 

Thrusts and sips 

Smiles become groans 

Desire’s full blown 

Her nose glides over 

The stubble on his face 

His smell leaves a trace 

As they blend 

Become akin 

On white sheets 

It repeats 

Remaining 

Ever so slightly 

Out of reach
