Falls Away

the door has closed between us
yet we each know the other waits
beyond the barrier
breathless
indecisive
yearning
pondering the breaking of promises
made to others
and yet you walk back through
and I am helpless to the surging
power I feel when you touch me.
Is one night of stolen kisses
and purloined passion
worth the price to be paid
when we are shown for what we are
not lovers but cheats?
We do not, cannot, think of that now
our limbs entwined
we let the world fall
away
