beneath the blanket
they found solace a pair
of slippers a used condom
a memory of hurried love-
making, dreamers by gods
grace unison of a sexual
tryst do lovers need to show
their face .. dreams that they
chase . hope cavorting with
lady luck seeking timeless
space . tragic love holding
on to dear life like always
lovers in deathly embrace
sleepless solitude catch phrase
