Never Reaching the End

I heard she grew up
to marry a short glass
of milk kind of guy,
but back then
she was in my arms:
pink tulip skin
and edible ear lobes;
she would rub her curls
against my neck, lap
small beads of sweat
from my shoulder
with that precise tip
of her tongue;
when words failed us,
we spoke only in vowels:
ahh, you
ohh, you
From that point in time
I understood when
the Moody Blues crooned
from a darkened dash,
“Nights in White Satin”
to marry a short glass
of milk kind of guy,
but back then
she was in my arms:
pink tulip skin
and edible ear lobes;
she would rub her curls
against my neck, lap
small beads of sweat
from my shoulder
with that precise tip
of her tongue;
when words failed us,
we spoke only in vowels:
ahh, you
ohh, you
From that point in time
I understood when
the Moody Blues crooned
from a darkened dash,
“Nights in White Satin”
