we were lovers
before we knew
the consequences
we were lovers
before negotiating
trust
we were lovers
in past and
present tenses
we were lovers
in both deep breaths
and in thrusts
we were lovers
before the evening
had awakened
we were lovers
in a room
with too much light
we were lovers
when all others
were forsaken
we were lovers
before we said
goodnight
we were lovers
when we laid there
dreaming
we were lovers
when all passion
had been tamed
we were lovers
reaching at
some unknown meaning
we were lovers
when the morning
finally came.
As always, I love your verse. You never disappoint at the end. I was not expecting it to have lasted till morning. And an amazing beginning, too ~

How often do we give in to lust without thinking through to what happens next? {At least some of us do.} The entire verse really sings to me. Thank you. Dani
