Rough draft

We kissed slow 
To a fast song
There was tongues in triangles 
That spelled love
On the lips of babes 
Frozen in time that was forgotten
By the past 
I reached the door and stood
Knocking on the threshold
The white iris blossomed 
In fragrances that smothered me
In the memory of your embrace 
What took your place on the night of 
A million stars 
I tried to find my way back home to you
But your footsteps were swept away
Trace less in alibis 
I tried to hold onto you 
My Worry was discounted 
My affection poor 
Neglected mornings 
Lingered with handfuls of tissues 
And clothes on the floor
We kissed but this time 
There wasn't more
