One Day

 

One day, he said,

I will softly touch

The skin on the back

Of your hand,

And follow where

Feelings lead me,

One day, she said,

I will ride you

Into the night until

We are wet and limp,

Exhausted with emotion,

One day, they said,

Not realizing that one

Day was already set

In perpetual motion,

The notion that wakes

You from deep in sleep,

With dreams you can

Never quite remember.
