your look saturates
your focus brings me repose
and rattles my bones
my heart overflows
as I witness your passion
all day I could gaze
dire desire
shivering at the thought of
a vanishing graze
never more than a
fleeting glance or short - lived touch
our blockades entrench
our confines have names
mine is called he, yours is she
our shackles we vowed
our love manifested
if perhaps time allowed
us as one maybe
left unrequited
we are left unsatisfied
us; left unanswered
