Uncertainty lies in bed beside us.

It watches as we lock lips

with the vigor and viciousness,

as if it were our first time.

Yet as we three become one

I treat each moment like it is my last.

I no longer allow the clouds in my mind

to rob me of your rays which spill 

like sweet honey upon my skin.

Your symphonic trembling

beneath my flaming body

grants me a pleasure truly unrivaled.

Beneath my eyelids I am there again

in the night that never ends,

until you, me, and the uncertainty

are laid to rest beneath our bed of dirt.
