it's only the beginning

today
you are safely out of reach
an awkward cluster of pillars
surround you
and the scent of our love lingers
in the air of
time borrowed

turn back the clock
to thirty-six hours ago,
when solemnly
you pursed your lips at me
in secret
before we gave in
and your hands revealed
all that had never been spoken
between us

I came
back to my body
still impervious-
numb and wanting...

and this is only the beginning.


I've known your name for a day,
but you've known mine for infinity...
