Two strangers, 
glide over dirt floors
full of memories 
as old as the morning
sashaying past time that slips 
like water through cupped palms

Just one more moment
Give me anther kiss
On the cheek of the one
Who wore a sacred name
That now hangs around 
Another's neck

Saline slivers slip silently 
Through the loving cracks 
Between the sweet words 
That once soothed a tender heart
Riddled through with holes 
Porous like the moon
What is the strength
Of a love that burns true?

Only true love will know
Only time will tell them
Can the dimensions be crossed
50 times a lifetime?
