The way I remembered you

I closed my
eyes
softly and fell
in love with the
way I
remembered you:
body, soul,
and all.

Even lovers drown

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him up for her own
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic

He had the effect on her of a window being thrown open and fresh air and sunlight being let in.
