Undone                                                            

  Once, we connected
   Did you not feel my message,
     given in the dark?
  My eyes, searching yours,
     my mind, sending thoughts
     attempting to close that
       wound in your heart...

  Once, we connected
   Our bodies, rhythmic
     and sensing, in unison
  How was it that I
     misunderstood your fire
     seen in adoration's light
       that only I imagined?

  Once, we connected
   It is not so remarkable, you know,
     that one may close a wedlock
  And step into ardor's new abode
     freed from pain and sorrow,
     proceeding hand in hand
       with love.

  Once, we connected
   What did our pairing mean?
     now, you withdraw communication -
  You touch me no more; will I ever know
     the feeling of your skin, the
     heat of your desire, the breath
       of naked needing next to me again...?
