<b><u>Once upon a Time
Once upon a Time


Once upon a time, there was that certain someone,
Unlike, any other I had ever known.
Once upon a time, there was a passion,
That never waned, and was never sated.
Flesh became fire,
Time became golden,
Emotion became ambient,
Desire became paramount.

Once upon a time, a touch led to the passion,
A look signified a union,
A whisper proclaimed our hunger,
Flesh became water,
Time became sacred,
Emotion became anchored,
Desire became palpable.

Once upon a time, was a long time ago,
Now a look can mean animosity,
A whisper has turned into a shout,
The passion has become stagnant,
Flesh has become celibate,
Time has become too long,
Emotion has become volatile,
Desire has become emptiness.
