Intimacy ❤(Poetry).

A touch so tender
Bliss of sweet words fills with desire

Open Hearts of sweet surrender

Nightly poison gas the fire

A quiet place to romance

Touches as we held hands
No loud words were spoken,

but whispers

Just heart, promises to be kept

No tales being told tonight

No looking back ​

No regrets

Longing for this moment
Such complacent little time
We vowed to another
Being lonely is the only hate within my heart

Tomorrow bringing sorrow
I smoke Marlboro to release my stress

A brief moment of blame with shame

With memories reflecting back to those nights

A release from compassion’s flames.
