Vienna

I lost you
On a street in Vienna
The blue blur of your eyes
Took my breath when you left.

Oh if you had stayed.

If your blouse lay crumpled
On the floor beside my inhibitions
If your lengerie, wet with
Desire and devoured
By impatient hands and
Ravenous lips
Hung lightly on the chandelier
If the sheets kept our secrets
As your moans betrayed
Our sacred silence
If I knew you and unknew you and
Knew you again
If I found home in your foreign lands
And you spoke in tongues
To tell the gods of our pleasures
If we played shadow puppets with
The shapes of our entangled forms
Against the stone walls basked
In moonlight painting
Maps my tongue would follow
Across your body
If you crossed your legs, smirked
And whispered, "Find another way in"
If the only thing to give us pause
Was the sun's rude interruption
And our need to be filled
Before we could be fulfilled
Again.

If your eyes hadn't been
A blue blur on the streets
Of Vienna
As you walked away.
