Kim V. Poetry

A touch of sin.

A lick of pain and
A swallow of destiny.

We made love in a lost paradise,
All night.

Seconds turned to minutes,
And minutes turned to hours,
But the sands of the hourglass
Did not falter.

Because when I am with you,
The here and now
Is but a blurred vision of past,
Present and future.

When I’m with you,
Everything slows
But time flows quickly around us.

I want to feel your cool touch,
Lazily tracing my cheek, again.

I want more unbridled passion
That strikes the chord
That vibrates inside my heart.

I want more than just a memory.

So keep your eyes fixed on me,
Leave all your tricks
In the shadows.

Join me again,
In midnight’s gleam,
With love and glimpses of forever.
