Veterans of Love
Lips touch
A skill perfected
From playground practice
And sleepless nights-
Bodies moving,
Hands groping, grasping
Desperate to feel skin on skin
Dying to feel just a moment of pleasure -
Veterans of love
A new bed again,
New man, new lady
Barely remembering each other's names-
Maybe this time it changes,
Maybe this time something real
Something meaningful, beautiful,
Not what they were used to-
But most likely morning will come
And they'll share their awkward goodbyes,
The night will be lost,
A memory or possibly a dream-
A dream of what could have happened,
Entwined hands on Sunday walks,
Tender kisses, loving touches,
Whispered "I love you"s when all felt lost-
Lips touch
The passion is there,
But emotion is not, for who,
Who would give happiness to those
Who play with love?
