LOVE Poem: SANCTUARY, by Colette Shore

In the quiet moments between heavy breaths
Hearing two heartbeats sync as one
In the silence, words unspoken yet understood
Language is spoken in the intimacy of touch

To caress the canvas of skin, a masterpiece of texture and tone
Fingers tracing, lips meeting, creating a circle of desire
As if God himself pauses to witness
Not merely physical contact but a merging of souls

Passion in bloom, delicate and raw
The magnetic force that draws two together
As the addiction to passion seeps its roots
Creates a relentless yearning for another

Where every breath is a whisper of their name
Discovering another woven into your existence
As the universe conspired to bring our souls together
Living without them now was never a conceivable notion

As the grasp tightens with every heartbeat
Reminders of two souls so profoundly intertwined
And when vulnerability is met with understanding
Two strangers created a sanctuary of love
