?

As if to wake and find lipstick's faintest trace
Token of love's flowing cup still fragrant laced
Faith, so like sweet weave of dream and memory
The storm which rained your kisses down on me
And I, bold, unleashed upon the quarry, raged
Man afire, woman aflame; the coupling fiercely waged
And spent, we panted raw, entangled in sweat soaked sheets
Where fevered dream the spoils of earthly answer meets
The brute in me, and the animal in you
By love constrained, unleashed, then tamed
Do we our lives like our passion blend
Or continue lovers but separate friends
With heartfelt pang that one must stay and one must go
As whispers and stray kisses fade when passions slow
