I saw her face
in a quickening pulse
a change of mood, and music,
mind spins
dazzled by the lights
the roughened body
insatiable with alcohol.
my every move
to have your skin under my hand
and your laughter in my head
and your wink greeting me
across the room.
from the unswerving
heart filled with loyalty
to the impossibility that
beside me everywhere I go
you are there…
