Lovers Lose Sleep.

lovers lose sleep,
their heads lying on pillows
their eyes staring into each others,
hours tango past,
will this always last they ask
as they lie losing sleep
their hearts swelling like starving sponges
sucking the soul of the other,
saying silently come and lie with me
forgetting, (or perhaps not wanting),
to remember or coexist with the flow
of the people outside.
