We Began With The Word

we began with the word
glorious sonorous
in the seclusion of desire
where it affixed emotion
upon our entwined bodies

we lived with the word
magnificent resonant
in the seclusion of the times
where it inured devotion
upon our entwined lives

we parted with the word
splendid strident
in the seclusion of the end
where it left our names marked
upon our entwined souls
