In Leather, Words Bound

The lovers of yesterday will remember,
the sonnets,
the words chosen carefully,
select
deliciously sensual,
the lovers of yesterday...

The lovers of yesterday will remember the look in his eyes,
her eyes,
glazed,
full of desire,
skin sweaty,
sensitive,
wanting,
yearning,
the lovers,

know passion,
seek it
want it,
live for it,
it's written in history
in leather bound volumes
on parchment—discoloured
aged
delicate,
the lovers of yesterday

Oh, if only to be born yesterday...
