we
have
sensuously fondled
the soul of each other's mentals
with  
creative wordplay
prosed verbs and nouns
and emphasized the importance
of the vowels
U and I  

we
have
bathed in the
ocean of our imaginations
almost to the extreme of obsession
and composed thoughts of
double digits
like  
60nine along with
other numbers and letters
and rhymes with reasons that
b l e w our minds
m a n y
times

we
have
metaphorically
foreplayed to set our bodies aFLAME
and playfully insinuated which vowel was to blame
U or I?

count l e s s times
we
have

into
the depths of
our verses and have been
s w e p t away by
the intensity of our poetic liaisons
