He has taken to conversing with me, in lines of meter and rhyme, even slipping into free verse… and I am falling for him again and again, after all this time…
Adrenaline may fade
Love marks the soul
As long as life
Attraction may reduce
To dim coals
The brands always remain
If you know,
Even after the stanza ends
Your course is eternally altered
Blindly we caress and explore
Our new reality
Life changed by our encounter
With the glow of the embers
We explore our new selves
In the dull glow
Through ink, passion and pain
We are transformed
Into new and beings
To restart with new forms
The brave will embrace
The change and reignite
