Her skin became hidden
with his eyes under the small white linens
they dared to dance against the rise
of a small suns arch

Whether it be a smooth run
or the rugged edges of their bodies run
she lost her eyes into the soft corners of his back

Where the wilderness roamed
the cattle, the deers bright eyed
bushes treading lightly against the breeze
under the haze of trees that traded spots
with different plots of land

Just inside,
a few steps away
lay two bodies
two souls that met
under the small notes of an early, evening night
and for twenty years
their heart never changed shape
seized an escape
or touched a foreign part of guilt
just two;
enshrined under the piece of linen
that wrapped her body; cocooned
his right palm on her forehead until she gently fell asleep.

This is sweet. 20 years, that alone is something beautiful.

-Trina
I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear
