Hope you enjoy this one. I just pounded it out, and while I'm not much of a poet, I thought I would get over my fear, and share this. Hopefully you guys won't think it sucks too much. But let me know what you think!

From Beginning to End
My body is
A pool of desire
When you touch me:
Lips, fingers, skin.
I know all of you:
Eyes, lips—body and soul.
Desperately, I cling to you
If I need to be home.
"Querida," you whisper
while we lie still in bed.
Fingers brush against my skin
And I slip into your eyes.
Awakening to sunlight
Dusting the lips I always yearn for.
Your eyes open and lock with mine;
I fall in love all over again.
I ask you the unspoken question
And you answer by kissing me.
Bodies move with one another;
We fall onto the bed.
"I love you, mi querida," you say to me
While I am molded to your side.
A heart-warming smile appears on my lips
And I kiss you senseless.
Time passes as our love grows;
It blossoms into something found only in dreams.
Every kiss, each caress
Adds to the constant inferno.
We grow old together.
Ghosts come and go,
But you stay—
Just like you promised.
I love you with all my heart
Never guessing the emotion I feel.
You hold me after each time,
As if it were the first.
Comfort sets in,
But the fire never dies.
We live for each other,
For our time together.
Then old age finally sets in,
But death doesn't scare me—
As it once did.
You whisper assurances into my ear.
We cling to one another.
Time is coming to an end…
We both feel it; our eyes lock.
Then they close.
