I loved

I loved your disheveled hair;

to those lips edged with crimson traces;

I loved your moles that served as a point and followed to my caresses;

to your hands, when they were filled with all my intention.

I loved that velvet lost between your bare legs;

to all those song endings:

to your voice, escaping from the deep sea; and,

always loved, the sustained cry of your last tremor...
