you were a wandering traveller
i was the eternal sands of time
you planted your tent pegs in my grains
and spread your mat on the pieces of me
like a ready handmaiden
i was unravelled at the touch of your cold fingers
my heat was erotic
i thawed the ice in your lungs
we were sufficient;
enough for each other
i sipped cold wine
from the cup of your lips
it was Pure Heaven
but our love grew weary
my embers fanned out
your ice exited your body as tears
i watched you fold your tent
and walk away
i thought you’d stay forever
but
everyone promises forever
until they find someone
better
