Poem: "Beauty and Fade"

"Beauty and Fade"

Your arms draped
on my naked chest
last night
wrapped in fragrance
and lust

your lips met mine
the heat in the room
intoxicating
the intersection
of mutual longing
undeniable

in the morning
I found you
standing alone
by the window

as tears fell
on your soft face
I touched your cheek
kissed you once

as we watched
one final sunrise
before the parting
forever caught

in the shimmering death
of beauty and fade.
