his empty universe
produced one beautiful rose
he tended lovingly
-----
intimate friction
seductive entanglement
igniting embers
-----
serene skies above
with some soft clouds standing watch
over patient seas
-----
opened her altar
worshipped her tiny idol
bathed it with kisses
-----
kissing points of pain
caressing each other's scars
sharing old sadness
-----
fingers among flowers
he separates her secrets
seeks petals' center
