It was not the strikes,
The giant roars,
The bloody spikes,
The comments coarse,
The pains,
The kicks,
The ended lanes,
The edgy pricks,
The ugly words,
The stupid moves,
The ache that hurts,
The darkened moods,
The water in the eyes,
The losing of the pride,
The cocky fights,
Or the truths to hide,
But it was the smiles,
The kisses on the cheeks,
All the mystic Niles,
All the accidental sleeps,
The warming hugs,
The secret moans,
The coffee mugs,
The living bones,
The touching skin,
The private second,
The fingers slim,
The mouth that beckoned…
