Termless: A love poem employing no terms of endearment or adoration
I.
She lets you open her
like the two halves
of a nectarine,
prised,
from about it’s core.
You liked the seed:
Licked it, and kept it in your palm.
Now, without you,
she shall never be whole.
II.
She screams out sometimes
in her sleep,
and you whisper her awake,
lips
close to the moon of the nose
that has taken in your smell.
The sighing mouth
that sometimes smiles around
your wide heat.
III.
She watches when your
thoughts come
and your frowns come,
and leaves little bruises
with her teeth,
upon your arms.
You comfort her in the old fears,
and the fear
of this new requirement.
IV.
She sits by you
with the silence of tea,
still warm
from your finger dance.
The tasteable smell.
Now her throat throbs
while dual skins cool:
Shared heat
made milkily.
