Time was of no consequence
Our feet found each other,
Under the comforter of earth,
Tired and thirsty
And slowly entwined.
We shared the cover
The tight space
The wet soul sustaining us
And day after day
Together we grew
And day after day
I watch the sun
Rise and set
And light your brilliant
Leaves; green eyes.
Not even our nature
To grow straight and tall
Could keep us from each other
We lean, forever touching
Gently, our branches lock
In a lipless embrace.
This earthly heaven
Where
Time is of no consequence.
