~escape~ Poem by Soulful One

can we just runaway together
and forget about who we are, were
and ever dreamed of being
no identity except the secrets
hidden behind our eyes
no memory,
except of holding each other tightly,
right now
not remembering who we were yesterday
only that we are connected
to the sun, the moon
each star and expression of love

I awoke in your arms
with no memory of what was before
and no care for what would come later
I had no name until it fell from your lips
you held me in your arms and
I disappeared inside your heart
finding your soul, my mate
when I dove into your dark mocha hued eyes
thought became form
form became reality
reality solidified into the all consuming
awareness of your lips against mine and
my hand inside of you
taking tender possession of your heart
thru your waters of life
and passion
we were baptized
and our spirits born anew
the past is over completely
washed away
in the tide of your cumming
we are new creations
with new identities
shame does not know us
guilt does not know our names
we have runaway together
from who we once were
and found ourselves
in each others soul
