I open the windows, move
aside pale curtains, and
nestle my Austrian heart
between the grim road
I've followed, and the
yielding road I've
seen through her eyes.
She touches my heart in a way
no breath could do before,
molding into my ribs
one moment,
then drawing her neck
tenderly across my lips.
I hold on tight for fear
she will subtly disappear when
the lights are no longer
tracing us...
but I realize we are alone
and there is no audience,
so we sink further into
love's enchantment,
our footsteps unnoticed
by the ease of
the path we chose-
remapping the chemistry
of
'never let me go'.
