Love Poem: Rust

Rust

Can I ever love again your lips pressed against my ear

My soul begs, pleads with me, the heart yields no more tears

Should I gather unto me my hearing waits the matter

The pulse quickens at the touch, ice lifts and a shatter


Racing dreams ,like oil fields , drilled deep and hit the mark

Lingers, tarries,awaits me there I shift my heart to park

The embrace is warm, it pulls me forward and never was a doubt

Long the idle, engines cool ,never knew you had such clout


Arise the morn the birds a searching your hair lay cross my chest

I answered every question met but will I pass the test

Eye to eye and sweat on sweat you meet me and the thrust

Didn't know I had it in me , should've known it'd never rust
