Love
written by: Emily Bilman
Out from the first fern forests
Desire resonates
In us with such want
Our eyes shine
Like fireflies in the night
Our bodies are night-slaves
We are now aroused
To the sexual
As quaint tension in the guts
Seizes you
As my nipples rise
And our bruised bodies
Seek completion
Through love
