Tunnels of Love

The look a flash of blue
Of weak-kneed me and passionate you
A smile a touch
A tight hug a kiss from you
We entered the tunnel
Too engrossed in looking
At each other’s face
Lip-locked
The darkness engulfed
And still we embraced
Your hands on my thigh
My breasts on your chest
We were lost in the tunnel of love
On and on we went with the flow
Engrossed in each other
We flowed together
We became each other
Entwined and entangled
And when at last the journey
Was over, the tunnel was just a dark highway
A place we traverse through in our ignorance
Real life out there broke us
The ugliness of wants and needs and shortcomings
Came to light in  real broad daylight
The tunnel became a distant memory.
