As I take the sheets,
off the bed.
Memories,
of last night they bring.
Two lovers,
you and me,
in perpetual ecstasy.
Flowing in a river of lust,
knowing that above all,
not too many, love like us.
The darkness guided us,
the kisses led us,
to our own solitary world.
Nothing disrupted us,
while we breathe each other's air.
Passionately,
we gave each other the sweet essence
of our beings.
Spreading it,
right into the sheets.
Evenly,
I fold the clean sheets.
On them there is no trace,
of you and me.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Honest.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

To know this intensity of emotion and then to see it simply 'wash' away...is a pain almost unbearable. And the 'almost' is still up for discussion. Your words are exact in this.

OMG what can I say? I can't say what this makes me feel! It's fabulous, though.

Nicely done. I detect a hint of sadness at the end though. Wow. Makes you think.
