Sweet muse of this explosive heart Call to you this morning Out of the madness the river Sings peculiar songs to this flesh Hungry for one more kiss one more Embrace
One more laugh during soft tongues Mingling
In the background I hear your voice “That isn’t home” & I smile knowing That you will once again
Be where I am
