Keeping Love Alive

"Though all have endless love within, many feel they have none until external love shows as fantasies contend." ~~ Poet


I thought I knew love’s emotional pallet,
     then you gathered me in passions ballad
          and my sureness tossed in kinetic transport.
In your embrace, all I knew became unglued.
Such an amazing, glorious sensation
     increased its revelation because your known
          was equally thrown, richly altered just as my own. 
Times like now, our desires seek declaration
     from our mutual flames celebration
          of romantic love we both hold as a blessing.
You say our love is so tenderly strong, it is truly poetic.
Tonight, as your lips tantalize mine until intoxicated,
     the entire world fades away unrealized ~
          only we exist inside a shared bliss that enthralls.

Again, and once more, I always seek your lips for kisses I adore while wishing all were reality, not my fantasies creating a sedating escape from the unrequited love I am always bleeding. It is silent kisses and all my other pretendings that keep what never started from ever ending.
