It could well have been

The most intense seen

For exchanges were pure

And vibes were so sure



Wonderful moments felt

A beauty in the love-meld

Simple words of caring

Incited impromptu sharing



Reaching out with heart

A marvelous gold start

Shining high over both

As we added growth



Each exchange built

On all previous wilts

As petals opened up

Catching rays in cups



Brimming with heat

Felt on edge of seat

And then the release

With so much ease



Sometimes multiples

For you felt so full ...

And steering you thru

Never felt at all blue



But now there's pain

Will it be ever again?

You rocked the boat

And now - no hope



For the body shakes

As the head now quakes

For you squashed a cake

We so carefully baked ....



- Tristram
