For As Long As We Live Poem by jerlyn eguia

for as long as we live,
we are still lucky.

this is the precious gift.
and so we

make love, and enjoy
the sounds of our moaning

the creaky bed, the warm
blankets, the softest pillow

in your arms, the gentle
wind from the sea

entering the open windows
of our soul

the last glance and then
the parting....

i still sail on the boat
of our memories

and i shall drift in
the ocean of fantasy

with you, i see an island
and i shall land my

new beginning, my
own solitude again

a planet now in your
own orbit, another sun

owns you, another galaxy
fences you

away from me.
