Mutual Time Travel

Sexual summers, my burden unknown to you

No desire to fuel your unquenchable fire

That burning passion storied in manuscripts worn and tattered

A heart bold enough to love, all that mattered here

The fear instilled in us, almost killing us, we hide

Our moment of retreat confirms no doubt that we have died

To live is to begin in each and every moment passing

Not loss of self in moments took by any body asking

Each memory made thoughtfully anticipating beauty

To know the heart encased in flesh is surely more

Is this too much that I could be asking for?

Freedom from our media and provocative portrayal

That lead so many weakened hearts to fall into betrayal

Embracing love in lustful moments trusting hands that touch

I know not how you could have thought that this could be too much

As soft lips guide so slowly round each warm and supple curve

Recalling all the majesty, sharing history we’ve earned

Corporeal creation forming from ghosts of possibility

For all those moments wasted may become a true philosophy

Giving all to you as you’re free to share with me

Together as time freezes freeing our minds from the doubts that hold us

Each frozen moment strengthened the bonds that shall embolden us
