Reckless Wreckage

She closes her eyes
falling
held safe in love's embrace
a tangle of
bliss
passion
desire

Reckless though it be
time clocks out
sitting out
untold minutes

An embrace
crystalline amidst the forever of long sought love
—finally realized

Moment
moment
moments drip by
a leaky faucet
—reminding the couple that real world flows unsteadily on

Not this
nor any harsh reality would ever steal away their perfect piece of eternity

Faucets open
a different kind than time
liquid pain blurs coffin
his coffin
his kiss
phantom memory
