predilection

here and now we descend love,
not with cute emtotion and passion
failing for the timeless devotion
erstwhile lover's fate, lust now indulged

and passion's frail gifts forgotten
there is only the moments of body
and the years I wanted, now discarded
for those kisses, and tender touches

can you remember what I wanted
before I forgot what it was my dear
swallowed by the rush of blood
if I remember, do I want it anymore?

Dedication /Inspiration:
It was an offshoot of the previous one 'last and first' - or a reinterpretation or another passing moment? ... I can't remember.
