he wove golden strands of love
through her hair
painted her naked flesh
with his tongue
drew passion
from his fingertips
and brushed them
along her full waiting lips
their eyes
danced
to tunes no one else could hear
they were covered in each other
and it was beautiful
then one day
he had to leave
he dropped pieces of himself
as he left
like breadcrumbs
for her to find him
when the time was right
but the birds
ate them up
and he disappeared
forever
