The Wilderness

We two alone
in the wilderness of each other
heart upon bone
love is a secret shared under covers
now the day’s fire turn to embers of night
and as you turned your eyes caught the light
I saw myself rise and fall in that amber glance
as warm as our breath close together in a dance
across the vast sea of age
turn another page

We two atone
for the wildness in each other
we sigh and moan
‘cause love is one thing after the other
we must decide if it’s worth the rough ride
so as you turned your eyes you caught me inside
I saw every stumble and triumph in our path
we learn to endure and we remember to laugh
in the face of the world
our smiles all unfurled

There is a thunder in a man
that matches the lightning in a woman
each second between the two
could there be love gleaming and true
two souls on a tsunami wave that must never crest
two heartbeats echo across this wilderness

And there’s always something in a man
that always needs something in a woman
the miles between each touch
an uncertainty that gets to be too much
two souls on the wing following the storm west
two heartbeats like music across this wilderness

We two alone
in the wilderness of each other
the future unknown
love is all that won’t tear us asunder
sailing on a vast sea of age
until the very last page

Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist

I like this rhymping poetry of love and all its intricates . . .
