This is the second of the USS Caryl poetry challenge. I dedicate this one to all of the true shippers. We have had a rough season and I feel your pain, but I will not let go of this ship!

Two become One

Two souls searching

Searching for their other half

Finally meeting

Circling one another

Drifting ever closer

Pulled apart

As freckles fate conspires

To snuff loves eternal bonds

Still they search

To be whole, to be one

Histories follies

Pain, regret, unclaimed chances

Beaten back

Sound of sighs

Breathless moans

Echo in the darkness

Shy trembling hands

Caress quivering flesh

Passion swollen lips

Glide across silken skin

Nervous giggles

Turn to gasps as bodies merge

Neither is pure

Yet this is a first

More than biological craving

Loves call surrounds

Erstwhile lovers

Bodies straining, writhing

Together, apart, together again

Beautiful, desperate

Impassioned words spill

Confessions, truth shared

With this final act

Two souls searching

Consummated love

Two souls search

Become one

To my fellow shippers on StD and Tumblr... Caryl on loves!
